Abstract
The toolkit is made up of two parts. In
part 1, a route map is aimed at raising awareness. It
attempts to give direction by helping to categorize
information and communication technologies (ICT) components
in terms of complexity and walks through the different
stages of preparation, implementation, and supervision. In
part 2, the toolkit goes into greater detail. It is intended
that this second part would: For task managers and task
teams provide a summary of the various disciplines relevant
to the conceptualization, planning, delivery, and
sustainability of ICT-based products; for project
implementation units provide guidelines that will help them
better prepare for and monitor ICT components; for borrowers
and beneficiaries provide a primer on good practice; and for
expert implementers provide orientation and nomenclature,
and an aide-memoire for the formulation of project plans,
expanding the focus beyond mere technology. The information
contained here pertains to complex ICT components which may
require tailored information systems, have a wide impact,
have several subcomponents, have a significant management
dimension, have relatively high financial worth, or are
important to the success of the loan.
