This research seeks to develop a mobile application for broadcasting agriculture information to rural subsistence farmers. The researcher first began with the qualitative research phase to explore the views of participants, the qualitative phase was used to build an instrument that best fits the sample under study and then quantitative phase was used to identify appropriate instruments. There were two applications that were built in this research a mobile application and a web application. The web application was found helpful to insert, delete and update information in the database. The mobile application was developed according to requirements gathered through data collection. Data collection of the research showed that farmers want to see available bursaries in agriculture, ask questions and answer them, view sponsors, view agriculture department information, advertise products which they wish to sell, view diseases, new fertilizers and view workshops details. Farmers found the mobile application useful, usable and accessible.","PeriodicalId":326074,"journal":{"name":"2016 IST-Africa Week Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131260947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Academic institutions are increasingly moving towards digital presentation of corporate Information, such as web sites that contain prospectuses, course guides and corporate policies. Most of the intellectual assets of academic institutions, including research content, are also increasingly being produced and held in digital form, thus demanding new approaches to their preservation to ensure long-term value for teaching, research and development. This highlights the importance of an appropriate and effectively implemented digital preservation framework to ensure that these digital resources are properly maintained if their potential value is to be realized. This study endeavors to assess the current state of preservation of academic research content at Moi University (MU); the extent to which these materials have been digitized, with a view to proposing an appropriate strategy for their successful preservation. The specific objectives of the study are to: identify and classify the types of research content produced in MU; establish the different forms and categories in which these materials are stored; assess the existing digital preservation practices used to preserve these research assets; establish the challenges faced in the preservation of these materials; propose an appropriate preservation strategy to digitize and preserve these research content. This study has highlighted the need and importance of digitization and preservation of research content. It has also propose an applicable digital preservation strategy for MU.","PeriodicalId":326074,"journal":{"name":"2016 IST-Africa Week Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121454146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are several studies that have been conducted in the field of e-government and many projects implemented in both developed and developing countries signifying a tremendous growth in the field. However, studies show that there is a mismatch between the level of investment and the results realized so far. This has led to what some researchers refer to as the `e-government paradox' that follows from the `productivity paradox' earlier documented for IT projects. There are several factors that are attributable to the `e-government paradox': measurement error; time lag between implementation and results; the fact that public administration and by extension e-government is driven by the need to create value for citizens and not economic value; and the mismanagement of the implementation process by e-government implementers. The measurement error has been identified as the most important factor contributing to the `e-government paradox'. Theories on development, implementation, measurement and evaluation of e-government are still at nascent stages of development. This study proposes the development of a citizen centric e-government evaluation model that is suitable in the context of a developing country to solve the measurement error. The study was conducted from government common citizen service (Huduma) centres in Kenya where citizens access government services. This study proposed a conceptual model that hypothesised relationships between the identified constructs. The model was tested using Structured Equation Modelling (SEM) and findings reported.","PeriodicalId":326074,"journal":{"name":"2016 IST-Africa Week Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131651625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
