has been designed to solve these issues and is more flexible, with clear outcomes that ensure
alignment with overall NICI III goals. Annual/biennial project cycles will allow for easy
adaptation to socio-economic changes and emerging technologies. A strong institutional and
implementation framework has been created for NICI III and will require full participation of all
stakeholders as they each have complementary roles. Stakeholders include:
National ICT Steering Committee, chaired by MINICT, will provide strategic direction
for Rwanda’s ICT sector and be the guardian of NICI III implementation, providing
leadership and oversight.
RDB, the designated coordination and implementing agency of all GoR ICT initiatives,
in partnership with project implementers and the private sector, will continue to
implement and oversee the implementation of the NICI III initiatives. Further, the focus
area working groups (FWGs) that we were very instrumental in the NICI III formulation
process will continue to support RDB ensuring effective project implementation.
Project Implementer will be executing specific NICI III projects in partnership with
RDB.
On-going monitoring and periodic external evaluation will objectively verify project
implementation and overall NICI III progress.
The next five years will be most critical to Rwanda’s transformation into a knowledge-based
economy as NICI III aims to accelerate services development and advance the country’s
development agenda.
