[kictanet] Vision 2030: ICT and Other Sectors Converged (Day 3)

Tue Dec 20 16:26:08 EAT 2011

Lucy (the same one I know?),

Thank you for the precise interest in the challenges of improving Maternal
Health under the Social Pillar. I agree, Maternal health is an area which
can have some quick wins; talking about social media and education, the
Wakilisha TV clip deliberately included a clip on maternal health - Check it
out. As far as the MTP is concerned, realize that this is the first Vision
2030 MTP and our review has made similar observations, which we will
incorporate in the 2nd MTP.

Also important to note, that the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat reviews to
sequence and prioritize the flagship projects annually. The development of
the next MTP is drawing interest from CSOs, CBOs, Faith Based organizations
and Vision 2030 champions like you. We will endeavor to widen the
participation as much as possible to ensure wider agreement on the country's
priorities.

Bw. Mugo,

Thanks for taking the time to address the issues raised so far.  I would
like add my pesa nane on the Vision 2030 Social Pillar which closely ties in
with the Millenium Development Goals.  From the MTP Report attached for
listers, I was shocked to read that the Goal 5 "Improve Maternal Health" is
one that is unachievable and actually increased from 414 in 2003 to 488 in
2009?  Yet this is one that should be easier to address through education
via social media through vehicles such as the digital villages to
disseminate information on the importance of maternal health.  Programs
enlisting churches as partners in spreading the word and most importantly a
concerted effort by the GOK in funding clinics that focus on providing
healthy supplemental foods and nutrition counseling for pregnant women, new
mothers, infants and children especially in rural areas.  Numerous studies
have shown that pregnant women who participate in similar programs have
longer pregnancies leading to fewer premature births; have fewer low birth
weight babies; experience fewer fetal and infant deaths since they seek
prenatal care earlier in pregnancy and consume more of such key nutrients as
iron, protein, calcium and Vitamin C.

I found the report to be defeatist in the assessment of this particular goal
and would hope for a re-evaluation and better planning in attaining the goal
in a Vision 2030 kind of way:-)

Bwana Kibati

No problem at all and thanks informing us of when we are likely to hear from
you.  We understand that some days can just be too hectic. Please do respond
to the various questions in whichever order you feel comfortable. After all,
they are all interlinked, and I bet will still generate further debate. 

We will therefore continue with the discussion as we wait.

Aguyo, critical question you raise. How will Vision 2030 use ICTs to inform
the public on the status of flagship projects and their linkage to open
data? 

Matunda the point you make that ICTs can be used by government for real time
financial management to reduce leakage (kickbacks and price inflation) is
interesting.  

We move on to Day 3 of this debate.

We move onto the second pillar which is the Social Pillar.
http://www.vision2030.go.ke/index.php/pillars/index/social

The objective of the Social Pillar is to invest in the people of Kenya in
order to improve the quality of life for all Kenyans by targeting a
cross-section of human and social welfare projects and programmes,
specifically: Education and training, Health, Environment, Housing and
urbanisation, Gender, children and social development, Youth and sports.

 Listers, tuendelee kuwakilisha. You can still raise your concerns on the
vision, the foundations and the economic pillar (Day 1 and 2).

Rgds
Grace
