Consultation and Collaboration
The Fund will continuously engage relevant stakeholders in project conception, planning and implementation. The consultations with key stakeholder groups will provide a platform for identifying barriers, bottlenecks and disincentives to service expansion to un-served/ under-served areas. It will also provide the necessary input for the design of non-monetary incentives which will stimulate expansion into those areas. This program shall also provide an opportunity to develop key strategic alliances and foster collaborations with key stakeholder groups in implementing, operating and sustaining ICT projects. A key objective of the program will be to increase the involvement and participation of ICT industry operators, key government agencies and communities in the delivery of Fund projects. This program shall be carried out on an on-going basis for the duration of the SMP 2020 – 2024.
