As I understand it the session would be for Dr Ndemo to present the<br>
government concept note and master plan on the ICT parks. Giving<br>
opportunity for questions and audience discussion I think half a day is<br>
sufficient. Issues below can be thrashed out in the usual way through<br>
the list with suitable moderation.<br>

<br>
Dear AL,<br>
<br>
A talk on Master Planning of SEC would require more than a half a day if<br>
presentations (ICT, Science &Technology, Industrial etc. Parks plus<br>
those golf courses, real estate, incubation centres etc.) are to have<br>
justice done (questions following presentation)...see<br>
<a href="http://www.unesco.org/science/psd/thm_innov/africa_sc_park.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.unesco.org/science/psd/thm_innov/africa_sc_park.shtml</a><br>
<br>
where UNESCO launched a pilot project in 2008 for the development of a<br>
science park in an African country. Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is to<br>
host this science park, which will serve as a case study for<br>
establishing 'technopolises' across Africa.<br>
<br>
<br>
The issues you are attempting to introduce (a), (b) and (c) below would<br>
require there own days on the carpet. For example on (c) the Kenya BPOCC<br>
Society successfully had the PE, MoI&C launch a Standards and Ethics<br>
Guideline with the KICTB sponsoring the launch and since then both the<br>
KBPOCCS, KICTB and the KeBS are working towards a Standard for BPO and<br>
CC operations the latter will have outbound and inbound standards while<br>
the former will be for back office processes.<br>
The launch of the S&E Guideline was a half a day affair.<br>
<br>
Enjoy your Furahi day all.<br>
<br>
