St. Kitts and Nevis National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Strategic Plan

Abstract:

According to the Honourable Prime Minister, Dr Denzil Douglas, The National Information and Communications (ICT) Strategic Plan is the natural outgrowth of the commitment that the Government has made to ICT. This document provides the roadmap to achieve the stated goals and also defines the following objectives: greater efficiency and transparency in the public sector; enhanced access to public information by citizens; greater access to technology, training and communications for all members of the community with special emphasis being paid to the disadvantaged; and economic diversification. The document calls for the creation of an 'Information and Communications Technology Unit' (ICTU) within the Government of St Kitts and Nevis. This ICTU would act as the driving force to bring into existence the fundamental changes that must be made in order to transform St Kitts and Nevis into the desired e-society thereby leading it into participation in the global knowledge-based society.
