<div dir="ltr"><div>Goodmorning Keith,</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for starting this timely conversation. Yesterday i came across rumours in the blogosphere regarding the appointment of the Data Commissioner. Clearly Data will play a key role in this decade in our Social and Economic Spheres. We are seeing a way of life 'working from home', 'Online learning', 'e-health', 'e-agriculture' which will all be dependent on data. While contemplating how to respond to this discussion i kept asking myself whether we have or there is a need for a common definition of Data across all stakeholder groups. This could be a starting point that will make life easier for the Data Commissioner and all Stakeholder groups as a whole. Once we have a Common understanding, it will be easy to define our roles and responsibilities and use cases. We will also be able to define our Capacity building needs. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I will be back with more.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 14, 2020 at 7:36 AM Keith Andere via kictanet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><span id="gmail-m_434104871518961816gmail-docs-internal-guid-73fb1a92-7fff-9a8e-142b-83f79eb792e4"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Dear Listers,</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">I trust you are all having a great week.
