You are right bwana PS, in my opinion Civil society should ensure
enforcement of government policies (Grand Opposition:) in
addition to complementing developement initiatives by encouraging
inovation and sharing of best practices, this is the only way some of
this projects can be sustainable, Walu this discussion was timely i
guess we have been diving into some ICT4d initiatives blindly i am sure
if we all understood what this meant then we would have an ICT policy
in place by now<br>

The issue here is not simple. Civil society is
known to be part of the problem in development. Take the
slum areas for example, you cannot move anything before civil society
is on your case. Some are protective of the status quo in
order to get more funds.<br> <br> Do not get me wrong on this because I know some fine civil society organizations committed to see development.<br> <br> Ndemo.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Sent from my BlackBerry®<br> <br><br>

'silent' i have ever done. Anyway, here's an advanced list<br> of what is in the pipeline for the months of June and July.<br> <br> <br> 1. eTransaction Bill - what are the contents and<br> expectations?<br>
2. Internet Governance Forum- why should it matter?<br> 3. ICT Indicators - the Kenyan Perspective.<br> <br> Hpe u are now fore-warned and hopefully will be more<br> prepared. Some of you claim that the current topic 'Role of<br>
Public, Private Sector and Civil Soceity in ICT4D' was<br> 'ambushed' on them and so they have minimal contributions.<br> <br> walu.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br>
