<div><div dir="ltr">Even in the developed world, ICT does not have an internationally accepted lobby group or aggregation body of knowledge. The first step would be to clearly define the core body of knowledge outlining the foundational knowledge for specific subject domain(s) or professions with ICT. They would outline a set of "core" knowledge underlying the specialist or specialty
knowledge within ICT. Then you could possibly have an umbrella body that brings the various domains into a congregate/communal lobby group.<br><br><div><hr>Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 18:37:38 +0300<br>Subject: Re: [kictanet] Who speaks for the ICT professionals in Kenya?<br>
