[kictanet] KICTANet is calling for an Associate and five Interns

[Grace Githaiga]

The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is
a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved
in ICT policy and regulation. The network aims to act as a catalyst for reform
in the ICT sector in support of the national aim of ICT enabled growth and
development. KICTANet adopts a community driven approach in the discussions.

 

In 2007, KICTANet conducted an
institutional assessment to gauge its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for
growth as well as threats. The assessment assisted KICTANet to strategically
position itself as an authoritative ICT policy discussion listserve that has
attracted participation from individuals across stakeholder groups in the
country. The platform also has a following within East African the region and
globally.

 

KICTANet seeks to analyse the discussions
that have taken place on the platform since 2007. The analysis will give a
historical view of the activities of the forum and also inform the direction
that KICTANet will take in future, based on the trends in participation.

 

Toward this end,
KICTANet seeks a project associate to spearhead this assignment, and five (5) Interns. 

 

The associate will work with interns to
design, analyze and draft a report based on KICTANet's online discussions, for two months. 


The associate and the  five interns may be
based anywhere as the bulk of the work will be carried out online.
