Mymoena, Congratulations on the progress of your project. I am glad to see that ICT is really hitting home. Citywide ERP Solution? Wow! When I hear about corruption in Africa and other developing countries, I usually wonder how a country like the United States or UK would have been in the absences of the checks and balances from technology/electronic systems, yet dealing with the current 21st Century (SMART and sophisticated) human beings within the society. With that in mind, I'm really curious as to what the reaction of some of the politicians and local government leaders (including local elders) would be. Do they feel violated, disarmed or even colonized by these electronic systems?
Mymoena, is it possible to share some of the real time social and political related implementation issues that you are encountering in this project. (I mean, let's assume that we are holding the technical/infrastructural issues constant for a moment, because there are myriads of them.)
