[kictanet] Day 1 Pre KIGF Online Discussion – Data Track

[Barrack Otieno]

Goodmorning Keith,

Many thanks for starting this timely conversation. Yesterday i came across
rumours in the blogosphere regarding the appointment of the Data
Commissioner. Clearly Data will play a key role in this decade in our
Social and Economic Spheres. We are seeing a way of life 'working from
home', 'Online learning', 'e-health', 'e-agriculture' which will all be
dependent on data. While contemplating how to respond to this discussion i
kept asking myself whether we have or there is a need for a common
definition of Data across all stakeholder groups. This could be a starting
point that will make life easier for the Data Commissioner and all
Stakeholder groups as a whole. Once we have a Common understanding, it will
be easy to define our roles and responsibilities and use cases. We will
also be able to define our Capacity building needs.

I will be back with more.
