[kictanet] {Disarmed} Re: Who is ICT Board? - Capacity Building

[Solomon Mburu Kamau]

The laying of the sysytems is a sure way of taking us there. We can't
just talk about models if at all there are no set fframworks.

Experimentals do not go far if there is no fall back plan.

Sincerity here is the key.

Shifting goal posts will make us the ugly duckling if we are unsure of
what we really need to achieve.

Capacity building goes beyond the dichotomy of giving  people skills
but what are yher skills meant for either economically, social
development, economic creation etc.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all
the same way to the side of a hill!

AND

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
