[kictanet] Taking stock of Open Data initiatives and a perspective of the gains

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Ali,

Open Data is on the strategic plan for MICT and ICTA. See
http://www.icta.go.ke/draft-ogp-action-plan-kenya-2014/

I have heard users of that platform say it does not have updated data sets.
I don''t know how true that is.

Regards
