Akoh,
Excellent,
Without having read the book, we have tried to propagate the message that we can leverage ICTs for sustainable development.  This year alone, I have made two different presentations on the similar subject.

On economic pillar indeed I am confident that in the next 5 years, it is possible that ICT's impact on other sectors shall lead to some 25% contribution to GDP.  This will come out of increased efficiencies on public services and improved productivity in the agricultural sector. In my view development is largely the efficiency levels on utilization of resources in any country.

Developing countries are wasteful on use of its resources and that is why we are behind.  Consider the fact that we share all of our fruits with animals and birds while at the same time we import the fruit juices from similar resources exported to developed countries.  Africa still is importing eggs from developed countries yet we have the capabilities of using technology to know the movement of our resources.    

Socially we have leveraged technology to enhance democracy throughout the world but we have failed to use it build our own values.  No one for example steals funeral funds.  Conversely we steal development funds without fear of being isolated by the community.  While we understand the underlying fears of death and subsequent values, we seem not to have ascribed any values to deaths we create when we steal development funds.   


On Environment we have failed.  Kenya is a water deficient country.  We see all wetlands being reclaimed.  We know some sources of water such as Mau, Abadares and Mt. Kenya are under threat but we have never spared a day to discuss this even on this list.  We have the technological power to elavate environmental issues to levels attained by Aids campaign but it does not concern us since it is not our personal responsibility.  You do not need a scientist to know that the next fights will be on water and not ethnic differences.  Already in Northern Kenya we are having problems.

The latest CCK data shows that we are increasingly into Internet than we talk on Mobile.  This is good and powerful.  Let us take up the opportunity and start discussing the future of our water resources and plan for it.  We have data and computing capability to develop predictor models that can help humanity in the days to come.  It is useless to talk about data centres and computing power if we cannot use that to sustain our future.

Regards


Ndemo.

Hi all,

At the Vilnius IGF, the "ICTs, the Internet and Sustainable Development: 
Towards a new paradigm" book (see: 
http://www.iisd.org/pdf/2010/icts_internet_sd_new_paradigm.pdf) was 
launched which explored thinking on ICTs and the Internet, and the 
policies that surround them - both at the local level such as in 
countries like Kenya or at the global level such as at the international 
IGF, from a sustainable development perspective.

SD touches on three critical pillars of development - Economic, Social 
and Environmental. The book suggests that these pillars should be 
explored with a fundamental principle in mind: "Development that meets 
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future 
generations to meet their own needs." This book presents important 
lessons that can help us adequately and efficiently conceptualize 
present and future visions for ICTs and the Internet, and policies that 
concern them. It may be useful as we think about the future of the 
internet in Kenya.

Firstly, I would like to suggest, if it pleases everyone on the list, 
and our moderator, Grace, to perhaps examine this future thinking 
process using these pillars of sustainable development - Economic, 
Social and Environmental. This can be done through asking listers, if 
they had to conceptualize a vision to meet our present needs in such a 
way that they do not compromise future needs (for our children) what 
would be the a) economic, b) social, and c) environmental impacts?

Secondly, the book provides a framework for examining future impacts of 
ICTs/Internet through what it calls the "systemic effects", and there 
are three of them.

The first order (direct) effects are direct and immediate effects of 
ICTs/Internet on our society, for instance, the direct effect of the 
Internet on Kenya is the increasing numbers of online business that 
generate more revenue for the country.

The second order (indirect) effects concern the applications of 
ICTs/Internet to increase efficiencies in other industries. For 
instance, the Internet can be used to improve the deployment of health 
services or education, etc.

The third order (societal) effect concerns the impacts on ICTs/Internet 
on changing social and behavioral structures. For instance, the use of 
the internet to reduce cost and change behaviors through, for example 
telecommuting, or online shopping.

Juxtaposing these systemic effects with the pillars of sustainable 
development can help us to better define specific approaches and also 
how to best conceptualize the future of ICTs/Internet in Kenya in a way 
that Kictanet would like to see, and that encompases those whom the 
policies will impact but who may not be opportuned to participate.

Using this framework, we would refine our question above by asking:

What first order, second order and third order effects can ICTs/Internet 
have now and in the future for:

a. Economic sustainability
b. Social sustainability
c. Environmental sustainability?

And what role can Kictanet play to make this happen?

Perhaps, this sort of structure can help us discuss systematically and 
in more depth, and can also ease Grace's job in sequentially documenting 
our dialogue and thoughts.

Thanks again for letting a lurker comment.

Best,
Ben
