Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 6 of 10: How to Accelerate eGovt Services
by Barrack Otieno 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Listers, Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread. We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy. Today we focus on the following topics: *eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture The Background Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others. What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt? Send in your views Today. -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A
