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

[Bill Kagai]

John,
With all due respect I don't think this is the time to do a postmortem for
we are still in the mess. This could be the opportunity for kictanet to move
from policy oriented discussion to actual engagement on the ground.

A key role Kictanet could possibly play is ensuring that the facts on the
ground are being reported accurately in our ICT media and maybe to
strengthen those who are using ICTs to help solve this problem.
www.ushahidi.com is one good example.
