7. POLICY IMPLEMENTATION & RESOURCE MOBILISATION
An effective and efficient implementation and resource mobilization strategy
is vital to ensuring that this Policy achieves its objectives. This requires that the
implementation is backed by adequate resource allocation and an effective
monitoring and review framework complete with key performance indicators. In
this respect the Policy should serve as the foundation to develop action plans for
the
ICT SECTOR AND SERVE AS A GUIDE FOR DEVELOPING SECTORAL
POLICIES AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES.
Following public consultation and approval of the final Policy, the initial resource
mobilization phase would need to consist of a mapping process to identify to
what extent targets are being worked on already and sources of resources to
complete the process. In addition, an assessment would be made of the level of
implementation and enforcement of the relevant existing laws. Following this,
an assessment of the cost implications of achieving the targets set out in the
policy would be carried out by each concerned government agency, along with
identification of potential sources of funds and mechanisms for raising funds
domestically.
