3. Communications Plan
The Government will develop a communications plan to inform all stakeholders of key information of the
National E-Government Policy, Strategy and Plan of Action ICT Plan i.e. the rationale, benefits, impact,
approach, timeline, and assistance plans. Communications is required at different levels:
a. For communicating to and getting buy-in from the various stakeholder groups whose support is
required for the successful implementation of the plan;
b. For communicating the impact to the various stakeholder groups who will benefit from the
deliverables of the National E-Government Agenda; and
c. For communicating the E-Government plans internationally for E-Government benchmarking
purposes.
The communications plan will detail the delivery and execution of a communications calendar, and the
development of necessary communication kits. The communications plan will also instil a high level of
awareness of the E-Government Agenda within Belize and internationally.
Marketing and awareness campaigns will also be used to target all stakeholder groups – community,
businesses and the Government, and feature engagement events, promotions and awards prominently. In
the initial roll-out period of the Plan of Action when there is a need to ramp up the adoption of EGovernment, the TV and other forms of media will be used for mass ICT education and reach for EGovernment. The use of this communications media should then be slowly reduced to an optimal mix
between TV, radio and Internet. The aim is to portray the E-Government as one that is progressive,
collaborative and engaging.
