POLICY IMPLEMENTATION AND REVIEW

Successful implementation of any national policy program must be reflected in
positive, tangible and impactful outcomes. The National ICT policy will be used to:
i.

Develop action plans for the ICT sector; and

ii.

Serve as a guide for developing cross-sectoral policies, and specific
implementation guidelines as appropriate.

Therefore, it is important that the policy itself, and the initiatives derived from it are
subjected to an effective monitoring and review framework. This framework will
incorporate benchmarks, comprehensive key performance indicators, and project
monitoring / assessment framework process.
To enshrine accountability and transparency, the Policy Implementation Review
process will ensure reports are produced at predetermined periods to provide
comprehensive updates on the initiatives. The Ministry of Communication
Technology will produce a report on all sectoral activities on an annual basis.
