4. Key implementation issues

Financing



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 inmarginalized counties from 2014/2015

– Use NRF (2% GDP) to finance ICT innovations

• Private Sector - suitable incentives and PPParrangements to fund some flagship projects

• Development partners to fund Kenya’s 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 u get oma ns



ICT u get oma ns• Centralized MoICT budget for shared services

– For all shared services, including communicationsconnectivity (LANs, WANs, BB links, etc.); data centres and

servers; software licenses; & computing devices – ICTA will provide clear SLAs to MCDAs consuming the shared

services

• Ministry budgets for functional systems – 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 beprovisioned accordingly

– ICTA will work with the specific Ministry to deliver the

required functionality to ensure seamless integration andinteroperability

• Ministry budgets for end-user equipment & consumables – 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.



St t i f M&E



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 collectingcredible ICT demand-side data. The data would then beshared across all sectors

–

Govt to finance at least one ICT Observatory that shallanalyze the data collected by KNBS for different sectors andprepare sector specific M&E reports. The Observatory couldbe at a University-based research center or an umbrellaresearch 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



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

• Inter-ministerial project steering committee –

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

• Critical partnerships –

WG of County EOs ico ICT chaired by the ICTA CEO – WG of CIOs State Departments chaired by the ICTA CEO

• MoICT capacity – 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.
