Revised Bhutan ICT Roadmap
5.
CONCLUSION
A
series
of
workshops,
conducted
with
various
stakeholders,
provided
in-‐
sights
to
the
implementation
of
ICT
programmes
identified
in
the
Bhutan
ICT
Roadmap.
These
in-‐sights
provided
the
data
points
for
the
revision
of
the
Bhutan
ICT
Roadmap.
The
review
concluded
that
the
objective,
outcomes
and
goals
of
the
ICT
roadmap
were
still
relevant
except
for
minor
enhancement.
Of
the
34
programmes,
23
programmes
were
identified
to
be
‘in
progress’
or
‘not
started’.
As
part
of
the
review
exercise,
these
uncompleted
programmes
were
ranked,
assigned
with
KPIs,
included
implementation
cost
and
allocated
with
the
responsible
agency.
Key
recommendations
such
as
commitment
to
change
management
planning,
exploring
other
funding
models
(such
as
PPP),
building
up
human
resource
capability
by
adopting
ICT
competency
training
roadmap
and
the
development
of
a
national
ICT
masterplan
are
important
for
government
to
carry
out.
It
is
essential
that
governance
be
in
place
for
the
execution
of
all
ICT
programmes.
All
programmes
will
therefore
need
to
be
closely
monitored
by
the
e-‐Governance
committees.
In
conclusion,
the
revised
ICT
roadmap
reflects
the
current
status
of
ICT
programmes
and
offered
several
recommendations
to
overcome
implementation
challenges.
The
revised
Bhutan
ICT
Roadmap
and
the
11th
Five-‐Year
Plan
will
provide
the
necessary
impetus
for
ICT
development
in
Bhutan
for
the
next
four
years.
