The impetus for this Feasibility Study grew out of an E-Readiness Assessment sponsored by the Ministry of Works, Housing, and Communication that was completed in early 2004. The study concluded that despite the government will and mandate, the growth of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in the country is hampered by funding, investments, and affordability. The study recommended that an adequate ICT infrastructure is needed within the government and in the country in general to accelerate the growth of ICT that, in turn, would contribute toward economic development. To ensure that any recommended network architecture and implementation plan builds on the achievements to date, and addresses the defined requirements of the affected Ministries (initially Ministry of Works, Housing and Communication, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Ministry of Local Government and Office of the President), the Feasibility Study included several preliminary tasks in order to establish a current baseline on the state of ICT programs within the government. The primary objective in this study was to chart a technically feasible, coordinated and financially responsible course of ICT development within the country through the ICT Master Plan and then focus more narrowly on the Government sector as a subset within the overall ICT development plan. The study was funded by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), a foreign assistance agency of the U.S. Government. On 31 August 2006, the Ministry of ICT hosted a seminar to present the report and discuss its findings with stakeholders from government, civil society (including WOUGNET and I-Network), and the private sector. The report was presented by representatives from Mega-Tech, the US company that conducted the study. Copies of the study report and the study presentation by the study consultants are available in PDF format. |
