addition the sector is increasingly enhancing the value of every other sector by
facilitating their contribution to national socio-economic growth. The ICT sector
propels economic growth directly in some instances, for example, through increased
economic and other national output, employment and, over time, enhanced
productivity within the sector. But in addition, the sector facilitates economic growth
indirectly, for example, by enhancing the speed and quality of information flows,
business efficiency, access to markets, as well as managing people and processes
and propelling diffusion of innovation.
The National Vision 20:2020 document indicates the role of ICT in respect of several
sectors and offers specific examples as to how ICT can propel development of the
national socio-economic sub sector with respect to Agriculture, Oil and Gas, Health,
Education, Finance, Employment and Productivity, Governance, Infrastructure
Support, Knowledge-Based Economy, and Research and Development.
