Abstract

Records management issues are not being addressed in relation to the ICT/ e‐ Government and Freedom of Information (FOI) initiatives that are being planned and implemented within the region, and the situation places these initiatives at risk. Steps need to be taken to ensure that the risks are addressed before they have an irreversible impact on planned initiatives. This report proposes a strategy towards records management readiness, focusing on developing awareness, leadership, policy, authority, management, standards, practices, procedures and tools. It includes information on country research teams (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) and stakeholder relationships.
