ICT management and e-development policy and planning

The policies and plans that you put in place to leverage Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for sustainable growth and the way in which you organize and manage your ICT initiatives, are fundamental to achieving your intended outcomes.

Maintaining a tight link from policy through to implementation, effective plans, appropriate governance and implementation methods, will ensure that your intent is preserved and goals are achieved. To do this you will need a structured approach to developing policies, plans and designing the most appropriate management, operating, and sourcing models, whether it be centralized, distributed, or centre-led.

These choices are as valid for Governments and development agencies working on ICT for development or e-development, as they are for business.

The partners in DVC have extensive experience in IT management, and are founding members of Partners in Micro-Development, an non government organisation (NGO) working in the ICT for development / e-development sector in developing countries.
We hold professional and academic qualifications in IT and international development. We are able to draw on this expertise to help business, government and development agencies in scenarios such as:

Example scenarios :

• Developing a program of work to implement a sector specific national ICT policy or business led IT strategy
  
• Designing an IT management and governance model for a multi-division business or a multi-sector national ICT plan
  
• Developing strategies to e-enable key business processes or Government administrative processes in any sector
  
• Developing strategies for taking businesses online or delivering government services online
