[kictanet] DadaabNet - Suggestions, Feedback, and Advice

[Muchiri Nyaggah]

Hi Crystal,

A few questions...mostly.

1. What is PC penetration like in Dadaab at the moment?
2. I understand there are a number of cybercafes running within the camps.
Have you considered enlisting their owners as partners in the project? I
hope there will be a few Pasha centers in Dadaab soon, they could play a
useful role in DadaabNet.
3. Will the content for mobile be delivered over WiFi on mobile web? It may
be useful to have it accessible via 3G/EDGE as well in case the number of
WiFi enabled devices turns out to be low.
4. Does the Intranet platform already exist? It may prove helpful to
build/customize in a place where you have easy access to technical
assistance before relocating the servers to Dadaab.

Sounds like a fascinating project.


Kind regards,
