1. Ethiopia
2. E-Lanka
3. Tunisia
2. Typical Components of an E-Strategy
3. Critical Success Factors in Deploying E-Strategies
4. The “I” and the “E”
2
Example: Ethiopia
• Objective: Assist Communities to Improve their Livelihood through the
Use of ICT that Facilitate Increased Access to Markets
Five Key Components:
• Enabling a Growth Enhancing Environment for Broadcasting
• Enable a Public-Private Partnership between Ethiopian
Telecommunications Corporation (ETC) and Private Sector Groups
• Support a Growing Private Sector ICT Business Community
• Support Successfully Tested Technologies for Targeted, Scalable
Interventions
• Create an Operational Ethiopian ICT Development Authority (EICTDA);
and a capable Ethiopian Telecommunications Authority (ETA) and
Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority (EBA)
3
Example: Tunisia
• Objective: Development of Tunisia's ICT Sector
Key Components
• Assist in the development of an IT strategy, policy, and
regulation.
• Formulate an E-Government Benchmarking, and Strategy
• Develop E-Government Applications and Online Services
• Implement a Computer Risk-Prevention Model and, Strengthen
E-Security Research and Training Capacity
• Establish a Data Back-Up Center
• Establish an ICT Statistical and Economic Analysis Unit
• Regulatory Capacity Building
4
Example: “E-Lanka”
• Objective: Establish an effective, citizen-centered and
business-friendly government
Six key components of the E-Lanka E-Development Strategy:
– the ICT Policy, Leadership and Institutional Development
Program
– the ICT Human Resources Development and Industry
Promotion Program
– the Tele-Center Development Program
– the Reengineering Government Program and
– the e-Society Program
– the Regional Telecommunications Network
5
Typical Components of an
E-Strategy
• Innovation Support (Cyberparks, R&D Facilities etc.)
• Developing an E-Government Approach and E-Government
Network
• Developing a Cyber – Law Approach (e-Legislation
Programmatic Work)
• Supporting Private Sector Development (Training & Capacity
Building, ICT SMEs, Incubators)
• Infrastructure Development & Policy Reform
• Support for an Independent “ICT” Agency

Critical Success Factors in Deploying
National E-Strategies
• “Information and Communication technology (ICT)
infrastructure (the “I”) is at the heart of successful
deployment and sustainability of e-government programs”
(Deploying e-government programs: the strategic
importance of “I” before “E”— R. Schware and A. Deane —
World Bank)
• Institutional Clarity:
• Mainstreaming ICT in other sectors and governmental
coordination
• Who’s in the driver seat? The “I” or the “E”?
9
Can Telecom Regulators Ignore the “E” ?
• The “I” as Part of the “E”: Institutional Agendas
• The “I” Needs the “E”: Mainstreaming ICTs in Other Sectors
• The “E” as Part of the “I”:
– Technological Trends (NGNs, IP at the Edges of the
Network)
– Emerging Business Models (Infrastructure/Services,
Wholesale/Retail, Re-Sellers/MVNOs/ISPs/Network
Integrators)
– New Tariff Paradigms (Not-Cost-Driven, Costumer-ValueDriven)
– New Regulatory Paradigm?
