Section IV: Policy Implementation & Reviews The policy implementation will require consistent monitoring and evaluation of its outcomes. However, an appropriate strategy will also be prepared to align the ‘Action Plan’ with key priority areas for proper monitoring and evaluation. MoIT will encourage provincial departments and bodies to use this Digital Pakistan Policy as a guideline for their own IT initiatives. Provinces can identify their own unique requirements and implementation frameworks. However broad alignment to the National Digital Pakistan Policy may be pursued. The IT Sector is one of the most dynamic sector. Therefore, requisite measures will be adopted to cope with latest trends and technologies. One such measure will be to ensure a biennial review of the policy to keep it relevant, vibrant and up-to-date. Roles and Responsibilities For implementation of the Digital Pakistan Policy, various ministries and departments will be involved. Considering the involvement of broad spectrum of agencies, it is appropriate to align the agencies with their specific roles and responsibilities for clarity.
