[Kictanet] Fw: Draft ICT Policy - Wonderful job done

[alice at apc.org]

Dear James

KICTANet provided a five week opportunity for all stakeholders including 
those on this list to send comments/proposals. Some civil society groups and 
others send in their proposals and our work was to collate the comments we 
received.

kind regards
alice
