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.
