Abstract:
This summary note highlights some of the practical experiences and lessons learned from ICT policy processes in Bangladesh, Bolivia and Uganda over the past few years. Each of these countries has developed policies in which either information and communication technologies (ICTs) themselves are the focus, or policies were developed that specifically addressed the application of ICTs in a particular sector or were integrated into poverty alleviation programmes. The lessons are: (1) ICT4D policy processes are dynamic, fluid and sometimes chaotic; (2) ICT4D policy processes need appropriate and comprehensive background research; (3) involve a broad range of stakeholders in the ICT4D policy process; (4) validate the ICT4D policy process to create a credible and sustainable outcome; (5) build strong communications and dissemination activities into the ICT4D policy process; (6) building ICT capacity and improved knowledge of ICT policy processes is a critical success factor; and (7) moving the ICT policy process toward implementation is not fully understood.
