United Nations Children s Fund UNICEF Supporting Organization Implementing Organization Ghana Country Programme UNICEF The project is aimed at Community Development and District Capacity Building Time Frame Beneficiary Inst./ Org / Regional / District Government of Ghana, District Assemblies, NGOs SUMMARY OF SURVEY RESULTS Response to the Survey A total of eighteen (18) UN and Donor Agencies and some Embassies were contacted for information on the ICT related projects they are sponsoring in the country. Fourteen (14) of the UN and Donor Agencies and one embassy responded as supporting some ICT related projects, and provided the necessary information on them. The remaining three are not sponsoring any ICT related project as of now. The total number of projects received is thirty-six (36). The project information is summarized as follows: Beneficiaries of s From Table 1 below, The Public Sector Organisations (PSO s) are the beneficiaries and implementers of most of the projects. They are the beneficiaries of as many as seventeen projects forming 48.6% of the projects. The Ministries benefited from eleven of the projects, representing 31.4%. The other beneficiaries are some educational institutions; NGOs and some communities. A graphical representation of groups of organizations that benefit from the Donor Agency sponsored projects is also shown. In most cases the beneficiaries of the projects are also the implementers.
12 Beneficiaries No. of s Percentages Ministries % PSOs % Educational Institutions % NGOs and Communities % Types of s The projects received can be categorized as follows: Delivering ICT to schools and institutions in the form of training teachers, librarians and students. Installing electronic networking systems for communication, and dissemination of information within an establishment and with the outside world. Establishing information centers, community learning centers and resource centers for communication, to educate the communities on social issues, and to introduce ICT to the communities. Creating of databases for easy access to information. Developing websites to publicize the activities of an organisation and to provide a link between the organisation and the public. Providing links between the countries universities and research institutions for easy access to research information. Using ICT to support the development of Ghana s emerging industrial sector. Using ICT to enhance government s policy management process and to strengthen Government to monitor development activities in the country. Using ICT to merge culture and development. Infrastructure development to improve the activities of an organization. s The scope of the project indicates whether the project is organizational, sectoral or national. If a project is organisational, it implies the implementing organization is the sole beneficiary of the project. A sectoral project supports a sector of the economy and a national project covers a number of organisations, or sectors of the economy. From Table below, most of the projects submitted are either sectoral; that is to support a particular sector of the economy, or national. There were fifteen sectoral projects and another fifteen of the projects are national projects. This represented 42.9% of the total number of projects received.
13 Beneficiaries No. of s Percentages Ministries 3 8.6% PSOs % Educational Institutions % NGOs and Communities 2 5.0% Stage of s From Table 3, and it is obvious that almost all the projects received are being fully implemented; this represents 88.6% of the projects. There are a few projects that are being implemented on Pilot basis. None of the Donor Supported projects are in the feasibility stage Most of the projects are at the full implementation stage because of the nature of the projects. Most of the projects are directly implemented hence no need for a feasibility or pilot implementation, example, networking of offices and designing a website. Beneficiaries No. of s Percentages % Pilot % Feasibility % Total % Conclusion The ICT related projects being supported by the donor agencies are aimed at improving the living standards of the people and to facilitate the dissemination of information from civil society groups to the public. Some of the projects are also aimed at improving the work of Government. The Donor and UN Agencies supported projects have a very wide coverage area. Most of the projects are either sectoral or national. In a similar survey of on-going ICT projects and initiatives in Government Ministries and some PSO, the ICT related projects that were named by the Ministries and PSO s are not the same as those that were submitted by the Donor and UN Agencies as the projects they are supporting. At the moment, over eighty million US Dollars (US$ 80m) is being spent on ICT related projects by the Donor and UN Agencies in Ghana.
