[Kictanet] Sources of Growth Study - Draft ICT Questionnaire

[Muriuki Mureithi]

Thanks Eric 
This is a landmark study and will redefine the role of ICT in economic
growth 

I wish to seek some clarifications 

In your email of 12/8 you indicated that you would be sending out some
details of the project. This perhaps would have set out the research
objectives which gives a very clear framework for the data collection tool.
Without objectives that the research intends to pursue, it becomes difficult
to exhaustively comment on the tool

Nevertheless some issues you can quickly clarify
- to whom will the questionnaire be administered 
- under the Category of firm 
Not clear where Web designers  and Software developers and infrastructure
companies fit
IT company need redefinition - are they hardware/software vendors. If so
should not be grouped under internet

Am unable to relate page 1 category of firm with such entries as Agriculture
subheadings at bottom of page 2
-Numbering at Expenditure and receipts


Cheers  and wishing you luck 
Muriuki Mureithi

Dear Colleagues,
Sometime back I had indicated that we are undertaking a Sources of Growth
Study in liaison with the World Bank and IFPRI.  I indicated that I would be
sharing with you the draft survey instrument for your comment and input.
The draft survey instrument is ready and is attached to this e-mail.  We
would like to hear from you on the following points:
1.	Does the instrument capture the totality of the ICT Sector in Kenya
2.	Does it capture all the inputs in an ICT Firm's productive process?
3.	Does it disaggregate these inputs well esp. domestic, foreign,
gender etc.
4.	Do we capture the end products and the users of the end products of
ICT firms well?  Are the user final or intermediate users?
We look forward to your incisive comments and additions as always.
With kind regards,

Eric M. Aligula, PhD.
