1.9 SUMMARY OF INITIATIVES IN THE ICT ENVIRONMENT The Figure 10 below summaries the various initiatives being pursued by SVG and the region around four quadrants, namely: • • • • Effective Regulatory Services Well Trained Human Resources E-government Initiatives Business Development It is clear that there are a lot of ICT initiatives being pursued across SVG. This current suite of initiatives, once managed well, will create a formidable strategic thrust and become a significant enabler of development and enhanced competitiveness for the country. The successful implementation of these current and proposed initiatives is critical both in defining the re- launching point, and in guiding the pathway and pace of the re-launch. However, it is important to assess the resources available within SVG to support these initiatives and to identify any critical gaps that must be addressed. It is also important to consider how ICT is utilised in the other (non-ICT) sectors of the country. Figure10: Summary of the Existing ICT Initiatives Defining the Re-launch Point P a g e | 37
