Recognizing the multifaceted nature of ICT issues and the factors that impacts on them, the Government is conscious that the successful implementation of this policy and achievement of its objectives is through partnership with the private sector and civil society. Consequently, the participation and involvement of all key ICT stakeholders from Government, civil society and private sector is crucial. In addition, the Government has to continue to develop the necessary capacity and instrument, such as ICT indicators, to monitor the impact of the policies on social and economic development. Mindful of the fact that the ICT industry itself is one of the most dynamic sectors necessary mechanisms will have to be put in place to ensure that the policies are reviewed from time to time. Enhancing of knowledge and information flows is one of the effective tools that would be used to stimulate innovation and facilitate fine-tuning of the policies for the maximum impact and responsiveness to changing technological and competitive conditions.
