RIC-NET JOINS DENIVA IN THE SET UP OF DATA CENTER IN RAKAI
Following the popularization of the citizens’ manifesto and right to information access, RIC-NET joined DENIVA on the 19th and 20th of April in the setup of a data center and training in Kyotera-Rakai.
Participants were trained in the basics of using ICT for information sharing and access. Speaking to the participants the Executive director RIC-NET explained a number of online platforms that are being used to access and share information.
He also led participants through the citizens’ voice platform that is going to be used during the citizens’ manifesto in action. Participants later went through a practical session on how to use these online platforms.
Later in the afternoon of 20th April was another session of the citizens’ manifesto in action where a number of politicians and security organs in the district were invited.
Speaking to them Ms.Susan Nandudu of DENIVA thanked members for having responded positively towards the call. She took the participants through the citizens’ manifesto where politicians raised their concerns and supplements about the citizens’ manifesto. They appreciated the role of DENIVA having considered Rakai to benefit from this program.
In his closing remarks the Executive Director DENIVA appreciated the turn up of the participants and urged them to use the chance of being considered in the project to reach out to their community.
He later handed over the data center equipment officially to the leadership of Rakai which equipment was then taken to the place where it would be utilized in Kyotera town.
