<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I hope the board has done a study to
establish where we are on some of the areas they are targeting for
growth. It would be prudent to also think of how they will measure
progress towards achieving the targets set from day one. If this
is not done we will not be able to determine if we have achieved
anything at the end of the day.<br>
<br>
I remember the Kenya ICT strategy formulated a few years ago with
very clear targets. Since no measures were put in place to collect
data and establish progress I doubt anyone can tell whether any of
the targets were achieved.<br>
