<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:bookman old style,new york,times,serif;font-size:10pt;color:#0000ff;">I am wondering whether Kenya has the equivalent of RITA (Rwanda) or SITA (South Africa).<br><br>My short interaction with SITA clearly shows they are filling a major need in ICT operations, capacity building, standardization, etc. across governments. Among key gains are in such areas as procurement, service delivery, information protection, technology platform standardization (e.g. end user devices), application development methodology. It also provides economies of scale for entry: municipalities, provincial governments, etc don't have to duplicate (especially in facilities, networks, data centres, etc.) what already exists.<br><br>Although it is a government agency, it is ran as a profitable company and has creative ways of making money, e.g. extending services to the private
sector.<br><br>Any plans/hope of building a Kenyan KITA? Or transforming ICT Board to such active operational role?<br><div> </div><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matunda Nyanchama, mnyanchama@aganoconsulting.com</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Agano Consulting Inc.; </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.aganoconsulting.com">www.aganoconsulting.com</a><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><span lang="EN-CA"></span><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/>
