RIC-NET INITIATES DISCUSSION WITH KAMWENGE DISTRICT IN SETTING UP AN ELECTRONIC SOCIETY CENTRE

In an effort to promote effective informing sharing between the Local Government , CSOs and ensuring timely feedback to the citizens, RIC-NET in partnership with Rwenzori consortium for civic competence( RWECO) initiated a visit to kamwenge on Thursday 27/10/2011 where a discussion on sharing information was held between the Deputy CAO, RICNET program manager and Finance officer
After keen listening of the brief from the staff of RIC-NET on the various electronic platforms, the D.CAO inquired what information are you interested in? The team explained that the type of information to be shared was in relation to the information needs of the stakeholders of kamwenge not RIC-NET
And these needs are generated during the round table stakeholders meeting before the Electronic society centre is set up.



The D.CAO welcomed the initiative and also remarked that there is where to start as some few officers have laptops and modems, he said that the service of the E-society is immediately needed and more so training of staff in using computers
He pledged on behalf of the District to support the project and agreed that RIC-NET prepares a presentation to the technical planning committee of the District so that the concept is received wholesome. This meeting is yet to be held in November.
Along with them the team had carried copies of RIC-NET and RWECO newsletter as seen in one of the photos the D.CAO looks at the kasese E-Society centre in the RWECO Newsletter.
