pre-established key performance indicators; and produce annual reports. It will also seek to formalize its procedures, including procedures for interaction with stakeholders. Where appropriate, the Government will also consider special arrangements enabling and encouraging effective participation of all stakeholders, including stakeholder groups that face specific barriers to such participation37. The approach, described in this section, should be applied both in implementing strategies under Priorities 1-7, as well as in identifying, defining, developing and implementing new initiatives under Priority 8. Importantly, such an approach should be employed not only when implementing initiatives falling directly under this National Policy, but also when developing and, subsequently, implementing sectoral ICT policies under Priority 4. This should be done by, in particular: (a) involving relevant stakeholders; (b) recognising synergies with other sectors, and purposefully seeking for opportunities beyond traditional remits of respective organizations through exploiting potential for positive externalities outside narrowly defined sectors; (c) employing coordination mechanisms set out in and established for the implementation of this Policy; and (d) following best-practice procedural principles. Pragmatic Approach The Government believes in the importance of an ambitious, but pragmatic approach in achieving the overarching objective of this Policy. In following this approach, the Government intends (and will encourage other stakeholders) to: 1 Make use of most appropriate, affordable, efficient and effective technologies, business and operational models and services, having due regard to technologies, models and services that: a are already prevalent and could be further utilised; b are offered or are included in plans of service providers; c could be rolled-out relatively easily using existing infrastructure and having due regard to local circumstances. In this context, the Government specifically notes the widespread availability38 of 2.5G mobile communications services in Vanuatu, as well as nearly universal39 use of such services, especially basic mobile voice and SMS. The Government also acknowledges that service providers have commenced deployment of 3.5G mobile communications services. Availability (especially of 3.5G services) and, in particular, quality of such services still needs to be enhanced and improved, and the Government intends to encourage this. The Government will also encourage further upgrade of such infrastructure. Nevertheless, the Government intends to encourage utilisation of infrastructure and services deployed, in particular by recognizing 37 e.g. people with disabilities. 38 Reportedly such services cover more than 90% of population. 39 Pacific Institute of Public Policy (PIPP) in its study Net Effects: Social and Economic Impacts of Telecommunications and Internet in Vanuatu (2011) reports that 99.4% of households use mobile phones, 95.5% of households own one (making a mobile phone the most common electrical appliance in Vanuatu homes), and 4 out 5 persons surveyed have their own mobile phone. 28 National Information and Communication Technology Policy
