In the context above, the overall objective of the National ICT Policy is to maximise the contribution, efficiency and effectiveness of ICTs in achieving the National Vision, thereby empowering and benefiting every citizen and resident of Vanuatu. The Government considers this objective to be a national priority. By aiming for the objective above and having regard to approaches and principles below, this Policy will directly contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular by implementing their Target 8.F that aims to “[i]n cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications”. The Government considers that this target and goals of the FAIDP are not ultimate objectives, but rather instruments appropriate in achieving the overall objective above (and the Millennium Development Goals in general). It has accordingly embedded such an approach into this Policy. Pacific Energy, ICT and Transport Ministers in their meeting in Noumea in 2011 “recognized that national ICT policies are essential for effective multistakeholder coordination and partnerships to fully utilise ICT as a tool for development and to ensure that national development priorities are addressed”. Therefore the meeting “encouraged […] governments to adopt a more coordinated and planned approach to developing ICT as a key tool for sustainable development”. In this regard, the purpose of the National ICT policy is to serve as a framework and tool for an effective coordination of efforts of various stakeholders towards achieving the overall objective above. 14 National Information and Communication Technology Policy
