[kictanet] Day 1 of 5 - Challenges Posed by Post-Election Violence on ICT Organisations

[John Walubengo]

Greetings all,

As mentioned last friday, we need to engage positively
around the current crisis stalking our country.  One
suggested method was that we share experiences, impacts and
how we are coping with the challenges occassioned.  The
overal aim is to enable members to learn from each other
while emphasising the impact the crises continues to have
on ICT organisations.

Today is Day 1 and from the program below. We have 2days to
share the challenges posed by the Post Election Violence on
ICT organisations.

I know quite abit is already shared in the press but no
harm done if a brief re-run on our list for the benefit of
those who may have missed out. So feel free to speak as
(Telco) Operators, Consumers,ICT Service
Providers(BPO,ISPs,etc) Media, Academia or all of the above
;-)
