This is the second training in
ICT offer to OBR by RIC-NEET. The contents of the training include,
communication using ICT tools, developing a blog story, communication
procedures, website updating. The members were also trained on web based or
online reporting tools like the ODK for crowd sourcing of information to inform
the institution on what is happening.
During the training, Ms Best
Kambale the minister for education appreciate the online tools, they are faster
in sharing information, she mentioned that one of the cause of the challenges
we faced is the flow of information to the people. She agreed that since most
of the subjects of the kingdom have phones, it will be easier for the
spokesperson to share weekly update for public consumption. On the other hand
the minister for protocol and palace affair Ms Florence Kabugho appreciated the
training. “My phone has multi functions
which I am now able to use…..such as uploading photos on the website, sharing
short information from the community”.

The participants gained the skills
to upload content on kingdom website and blog page, install data collection
programs on phones. However most social medial platform for data collection
require an individual having smart phones whereby some ministers were not having
and cannot access at the moment thus they will be relying too few ministers for
update.
