[kictanet] Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 6 of 10: How to Accelerate eGovt Services

[Barrack Otieno]

Listers,

Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The
threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread.
We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili
platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy.

Today we focus on the following topics:

*eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning
*ICT regional (county) incentives)
*ICTs in Society, Culture

The Background

Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services.
A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency
and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local
ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration,
equipment resellers amongst others.

What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma
Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in
other government departments and agencies. What poliices and
strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt?
