However, the initiative to develop this policy is the biggest step in creating a clear roadmap/vision for the sector. Therefore, the success of all the commitments and provisions of this policy depend on how well the implementation will be coordinated. The requirements include sustainable and effective institutional framework, coordination and resource mobilisation. Other challenges include; (a) Leadership of the national ICT portfolio; and the visibility of the National Champion for ICTs among the public; (b) Capacity for Policy formulation/development at various levels of society; (c) Institutional framework and capacity for policy implementation at national, provincial and district levels; (d) Developing clear roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders; (e) Mainstreaming of ICTs by Cooperating Partners in country programmes; and reflection of ICT commitment in national budgets; (f) Inadequate and ineffective legal and regulatory framework; (g) Inadequate capacity to undertake ICT investment promotion/campaigns at national, regional and international levels. 18
