Kenya ICT Board on wednesday released the findings of the National ICT
Survey Julisha. Results can be found here.
http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/julisha/402-mae-national-research-study-dubbe
d-qjulishaq.

The research commissioned by the Kenya ICT Board's monitoring and evaluation
team, was a combination of field work and reviews secondary research to
establish critical baselines with respect to the ICT Sectotr in Kenya.
Indeed this announcement of the proposed study was made is this mailing list
a few months ago.

Of particular interest to the Kenya ICT Board is that we now have a market
size figure of the ICT sector. Kenya's ICT sector, excluding telco revenues,
in 2010 sits at USD 740m with 78% hardware, 9% software and 12% services.
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18%.
We estimate it to get to USD 1bn by 2013.

The results also tracked skills requirements and indicated that Kenya would
need another 10,000 odd IT professional in the next 3 years to meet sector
needs. 23% of IT professionals are in IT help desk. The greatest skill
shortages are in software development and IT project management.

We have received many comments, requests and pointers for clarification
through phone calls, email, Twitter, Linked in and Facebook already. We
welcome comments on the Julisha Survey before we re publish a final report.
Most decision makers in ICT will find this a true digest of information.
