[kictanet] Day 2: Resumption of e-Discussion on Aligning records management with ICT e-government and Freedom of Information in East Africa

[Grace Githaiga]

Listers
 
We appreciate all those who sent their messages of condolences for Evelyn Rono. Those who have not done so, can still send up till Monday evening. 
 
And today, we will continue with the e-discussion  on Aligning records management with ICT e-government and Freedom of Information in East Africa, a study conducted by International Records Management Trust (IRMT) and supported by IDRC, a study that covered five Eastern African Countries namely Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania. 
 
Under the issue of Planning for Records Management Requirements in ICT systems, we focus on the second concern raised namely Lack of planning for records management functionality in ICT systems.
 
To guide in our thoughts on this concern, lets consider the following: 

What bodies/institutions/agencies are tasked with management of government records?
Wjat type of systems do these bodies use to manage records?
Is there any co-ordination between these bodies?
 
Question
How is the lack of attention to records management impeding these agencies and boards from fulfilling their mandate to co-ordinate ICT implementation?
 
 We look forward to hearing from listers from all the five countries.
 
Have a great day.
Rgds
