The meeting that was attended by the District heads of
departments, members of the civil society and RIC-NET team in the district council
hall discussed a number of issues and way forward for the center.
In his opening remarks the District Population Officer
welcomed all members for having turned up for the meeting and laid a program
the meeting followed.
In his presentation the I.C.T.O RIC-NET gave an over view
and background of the E-society Resource center. He explained what it takes for
an E-society center to be functional and all the services that will be involved
at the center.
He also emphasized that the center belonged to the people of
Kyegegwa and not RIC-NET or RWECO. He in this case told the meeting that the stake
holders of this center were the direct and immediate beneficiaries from this
center and this case the Local Government staff, Civil Society organizations (CSOs)
and the entire surrounding community.
In his presentation the Executive director RIC-NET explained
a number of online platforms that are being used during the social accountability
project. He emphasized the RIC-NET was responsible for the design of the
district website and e-library and the District was responsible for all the
authentication and provision of the information/data for these online
platforms. He therefore requested the heads of departments to provide the necessary
and up to date information for the website that is hosted at www.kyegegwa.go.ug
He also explained the huduma platform for service delivery
that would need to be deployed in the District for monitoring of services like
water, health and education among others. Huduma is also hosted at www.citizenvoice.ug
A number of issues were discussed during the meeting and
actions points made. Among others was to see the way to boost the speed of the
internet bandwidth which is the moment very slow and the sustainability of the
center after this year when the project ends.
The District pledged total support and maximum utilization of
the center that is already set and located in the planning unit.
