The Business Transformation Office will work closely with the ongoing Public Sector transformation initiative under the ministry responsible for public administrative services. 3. Communications Plan It is essential that a proper communications plan be developed to inform all stakeholders of key information of the National E-Government Policy, Strategy and Plan of Action ICT Plan i.e. the rationale, benefits, impact, approach, timeline, and assistance plans. The communications plan will detail the delivery and execution of a communications calendar, and the development of necessary communication kits. The communications plan will also instil a high level of awareness of the E-Government Agenda within Belize and internationally. Marketing and awareness campaigns will also be used to target all stakeholder groups – community, businesses and the Government, and feature engagement events, promotions and awards prominently. The National E-Government Policy, Strategy and Plan Action concludes with a National E-Government Action Plan detailing projects that are either in progress and those that are scheduled to start in the coming year. The Action Plan clearly illustrates that an integrated effort amongst Government, private sector, and civil society will be instrumental in the successful roll out of the Strategy. It further highlights that CITO will need to work in collaboration with other ministries, agencies, public and private sectors in the execution of its mandate. The Government of Belize is confident that development and expansion of the E-Government sector will lead to many benefits for the citizens of the nation. Improvements such as increased citizen participation and a cultural drive for innovation will lead to a more inventive, informed, knowledge-based and IT savvy society. These elements will allow Belize to be more competitive regionally and globally. Resulting advances in Global ICT Rankings will promote and engender investor confidence while creating an improved quality of life for the populous. Most importantly expansion of the E-Government sector will mean that citizens and Government will be able to communicate in unprecedented ways. 19
