dear lister

somali people  need a better life, ICT may  be an enabler and facilitator to the change. 
most of all, we need to understand from a local perspective(daadab) how necessary the program will be, considering the resent famine, unless the program is designed to address even the most fundamental problem in the area - hunger, starvation and lack education. of which it does and i thank you for it. with education the people can be able to understand the need for peace which will lead to better governance and eventually proper disaster management foundation.

thank you

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,

Muchiri Nyaggah
