4. Key implementation issues

Financing
Govt funding
Consolidate all Ministries ICT budgets by 2015/2016 for flagship ICT projects Increase ICT from 0.3% to 5% of National and County government budgets from 2015/2016 Use USF (0.5% of turn-over of ICT operators and service providers) from 2015/2016 Use Equalization Fund to fund ICT projects in marginalized counties from 2014/2015 Use NRF (2% GDP) to finance ICT innovations

Private Sector - suitable incentives and PPP arrangements to fund some flagship projects Development partners to fund Kenyas priorities Capital markets e.g. ICT infrastructure bonds Small Business Administration Agency to provide government guarantee to the commercial banks to facilitate financing of ICT innovations by 2015/2016

ICT budget domains

Centralized MoICT budget for shared services
For all shared services, including communications connectivity (LANs, WANs, BB links, etc.); data centres and servers; software licenses; & computing devices ICTA will provide clear SLAs to MCDAs consuming the shared services For specific business systems in the different Ministries, the functional aspects of the system will belong to the Ministry Common items such as the Data Centre, Database platforms etc, will leverage on the Shared Services and will be provisioned accordingly ICTA will work with the specific Ministry to deliver the required functionality to ensure seamless integration and interoperability Guidelines & standards will be used to streamline all these procurements Use of framework contracting will be introduced to ease and streamline this component as well.

Ministry budgets for functional systems

Ministry budgets for end-user equipment & consumables

ICTA institutional issues

Inadequate capacity in ICTA in:
Project management, engineering, and information systems capacity Advanced ICT and engineering project management capacity Information systems professionals ICTA is perceived as a statutory body under the ICT State Dept rather than an ICT leader with oversight over all flagship ICT projects, which are cross-cutting Address this through an oversight comm chaired by HE Re-classify ICTA in the top public sector enterprises This will enhance ability to recruit and retain high-end ICT professionals

Cross-cutting perception

Need to review ICTA terms of service

Need to transform ICTA culture

Become result-oriented and where the remuneration is competitive

Strategies for M&E

Collection of M&E data
Enhance the capacity of KNBS to collect ICT data on a regular basis based on ICT sector indicators (Annex 3) CAK and other governmental bodies like ICTA to pool their resources and support KNBS in its mandate of collecting credible ICT demand-side data. The data would then be shared across all sectors Govt to finance at least one ICT Observatory that shall analyze the data collected by KNBS for different sectors and prepare sector specific M&E reports. The Observatory could be at a University-based research center or an umbrella research organization

M&E data analysis

ICT State Dept to build capacity for ICT M&E data ICTA to finance an annual ICT readiness study of important sectors of the economy as defined in the strategic pillars All the data collected should then be available on the Open Data platform for use by all sectors of the economy

Proposed governance changes

Oversight committee
Chaired by HE the President, ICT State Dept/ICTA as the Secretary Representation of private sector and academia Monitors status of implementation of Master Plan and resolves inter-ministerial challenges Chaired by the CS of the Ministry that owns the project Representation of relevant ministries and agencies Appoints the Project Manager(s) Does M&E & reports progress to the Oversight Committee

Inter-ministerial project steering committee

Critical partnerships MoICT capacity

WG of County EOs ico ICT chaired by the ICTA CEO WG of CIOs State Departments chaired by the ICTA CEO Overall mandate of overseeing ICT staff development in the public and private sector Monitor the growth of the ICT sector Build necessary capacity, esp. in Human Capacity, M&E, etc.
