FINDINGS AND DATA ANALYSIS
The consultative process used a number of tools to establish the current status of ICT
readiness in the country and capture ICT indicators from primary as well as secondary
sources. Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis was used to analyse the findings.
From interviews conducted we collected qualitative data which we analyse using SWOT
Analysis Tool.
The survey results and additional secondary data are presented in the section below.
2.1 ICT Contribution to Gross Domestic Product
Economic figures show that ICT contributions to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have
increased in the years 2011-2012 with projections showing a steady increase. However the
sectoral contribution of ICT to GDP is still low at less than 4%. There is therefore need for
deliberate government efforts to stimulate ICT industry growth in order to grow the economy
of the country. Table 1 below is an extract of the GDP figures showing ICT contribution to
the economy.
