<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><div class="gmail_quote">Dear Paul,</div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">Very nice work by KICTB this year, and well thought out too. Inclusion of the establised companies, grant size and the business traning is a big step forward. However, I see creation of core systems/platforms are still out of reach as I was unable to read any requirements of both google-kenya hansard digitization and socrata open data platforms. This is fine for now, as it gives ample time to study both systems for requirements and see what we can do next year about them. I hope some are already aware of the systems, so will apply.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">In the meantime, I'd like to once again suggest some projects with any prospectee grant participants ( if they are willing to take up ) for this year's grants, which are based on datasets or data from within various sectors:</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">1) Anti-Famine National application : The application will work with National data on e.g. grain silos to farm outputs and storage facilites. The application will provide an accurate anaylsis and display the various data in a dashboard form, with the eventual integration of realtime data flow using the national fiber optic network or cellphone networks. Monthly reports of realtime data will also be produced for archive basis.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">2) Health Care based application: The developer company will pick a major hospital outside Nairobi based on datasets. Create an efficient in-patient/out-patient, child care and emergency, doctors database, where portions can be accessed on mobile at a later stage. The in-house pharmacy must be automated with bar-code reader/printer, that also checks drugs expiry, and finally inventory control against theft or misuse. This application will produce monthly reports to be shared with doctors and ministry of health.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote">3) Missing Persons/Children and Kenyan IDPs application : To be used nationally, automate registration and create a ticket tracking system that allocates unique case identifiers. The application must be easy to use with pages for familiy details, allow upload of passport size photogs, case details. The application must be accessible by security agencies, emergency services teams and those who work with cases. The application must be secure, allow progress tracking of cases logged in and must be searchable by either ticket unique id, or any family details. </div>
