2.9 The country has a coherent ICT policy or the government implements promotional measures, which
aim to meet the information needs of all citizens, including marginalised communities.
A draft ICT for Development Policy exists and government seems to be making
some effort to make such technologies accessible to marginalised communities.
The policy was drafted and circulated in 2003, and attempts were made in 2010
by the Office of the President and Cabinet, the private sector and civil society to
revise this draft. Panellists were unclear what has happened since in this regard
and this policy remains at draft level. However, the government appears to be
implementing elements of this draft by establishing telecentres in rural areas, for
example, where community members can access the internet.
