Review Programme, will seek to improve the internal efficiencies and effectiveness of all Ministries and Agencies that are implementing ICTs under the umbrella of this Plan. This means that in general ICT investments would have a process re-design component. This Programme will deliver re-design projects for Government generally, and supports re-design initiatives for other agencies and areas of focus such as health and education. It is expected that the process redesign initiative, the Government On-line initiative and the common infrastructure projects such as the e-government backbone and the Portal, will be developed hand-in-hand to ensure synergies, compatibility and cost sharing. 5.1.3 Agriculture Agriculture continues to be an important contributor to the economy of SVG, and supports many families across the country. It is important that this sector be strengthened so that it would become more globally competitive and in fact grow. The key objective of the Programmes and Projects in the area of agriculture is to enable the effective and efficient supply chain management, from production to sales and marketing, in SVG through the use of ICT. This will inevitably promote the economic viability of agricultural related activities by impacting on costs. It should be recognised that some of these initiatives, including the Agricultural Portal and the National Agricultural Production and Marketing Information System, are already in the planning or implementation stages. However, it is important to review and coordinate national ICT initiatives under a single unified umbrella. The key Programme and Projects are now presented. The NAIMS, National Agricultural Information Management System, or Programme will strengthen the information management, information sharing, and information reporting capabilities of the central Ministry and other agencies / organisations / stakeholders in the sector. This will lead to improved communication and policy dialogue with key sectors and stakeholders for the optimum benefit of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This Programme has a number of associated Projects which collectively will deliver AIMS. These initiatives are now outlined. The Reporting & Monitoring Information System (RMIS) is an internal work management system. RMIS will allow the Ministry to manage its human and capital resources optimally. Caribbean Fisheries Information System (CARIFIS) will provide primary support to the fishermen of SVG. It will include the Fisheries Registration System that will register fishermen and monitor the catch so that the limited resources of the seas can be managed in a sustainable manner. It will facilitate the safety of fishermen. This information system will support the development and growth of the fisheries industry. The Forestry Information Management System will enable the Ministry to manage the forests and associated wildlife of SVG in a sustainable manner. It will facilitate controlled utilisation of the limited resources available within the country and allow this sector to contribute to the economy in an effective manner.
