The Organizational Structure of RITA
It is recommended that RITA should have the following four Directorates:
•
•
•
•
Administration and Finance
Operations and Planning
The National Computer Center (NCC)
Research and Development
Each of these Directorates will have a number of Divisions, which in turn will be divided into functional Departments. This flexible organizational
structure will enable coordinated expansion of the organization: starting with some core Directorates, Divisions and Departments. RITA, therefore
do not need to set up all the components of its organizational structure at the very beginning. Starting with one or two Directorates and a number
of constituent Divisions and Departments, this structure could be expanded on as the organization grows.
