  Hi all,
Hi all,
At the KICTANET meeting held today it was agreed that we start a discussion 
in respect of the structure desired for KICTANet.
This is to serve as a welcome to this discussion which will last as long as 
it is reasonably clear what might be done but not exceeding 2 weeks.

The question for today is this: Are the objectives stated below ok? Please 
suggest additions and or deletions.

KICTANET is a loose network of organisations involved with ICTs or share 
common/similar ICT goals in Kenya to work together to achieve the national 
aim of ICT enabled growth and development.
  Objectives of the Kenya ICT Action Network will be:
·       Engagement in mutually supportive activities for lasting change
·       Facilitation of effective dissemination of the ICT policy and 
implementation processes
·       Facilitation of effective implementation of the ICT policy
         Provision of access to varied and multiple resources/skills
·       Pooling of limited resources for the common goal and common good
·       Linking of organisations and networks working at the community 
level to those specialised and working in the broader political space

We hope that by forming this loose network, we shall avoid multiplicity and 
unhealthy competition or mutual suspicion while encouraging synergies for 
activities as well as initiatives by providing a platform for collaboration 
among organisations and networks interested in the fast developing ICT 
sector in Kenya.
  Cheers,
FE
