PREFACEInformation and communication technology (ICT) offers a powerful tool that if well harnessed can ensure citizens are empowered and Government can deliver services more efficiently, effectively and in a transparent and accountable manner. These ICT envisaged benefits can be realized if there is a clear ‘Road map’ in the initiation and implementation of all ICT related projects.

This ICT Roadmap will go a long way in guiding the County in setting standards or determining a course of action for all ICT projects. It shall also help reach a consensus about a set of needs and the technologies required to satisfy those needs. In addition, it shall provide a mechanism to help forecast technology developments framework to help prioritize, plan and coordinate them. .

The Roadmap identifies four areas where gap exists and includes Infrastructure and Connectivity, Public Service Delivery, The Legal and Policy Environment and Human Resources and Capacity Building. All these are integrated and can be carried out concurrently.

The Roadmap aligns to National ICT Master Plan, Vision 2030 and other policy documents. It shall among other things assist to create an enabling policy, legal and regulatory environment; provide county e-government services that are simple to use and convenient for citizens and businesses. It shall also increase the productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of critical economic sectors; stimulate the setup and growth of ICT-related businesses within the County to enhance employment creation; enable and scale up ICT innovation; and develop a dynamic and robust ICT sector that will enhance socio-economic growth.I urge all the county stakeholders to be committed and to play their part to ensure successful implementation of the ICT Roadmap for the benefit of all in this fast growing county, Bomet.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis roadmap intends to deliver on four objectives namely:

1. To develop a coordinated and coherent approach for ICT road map development and guidelines which will enable each County to provide high-quality and cost-effective ICT-enabled services that meet the needs of County residents;

2. Foster innovation, best practice, and value for money in the use of ICT in management of County resources, learning and Citizen outreach;

3. To define the conditions under which it will be possible to provide a shared and optimized ICT infrastructure with appropriate user support and standards for the National Government and the Bomet County Government;

4. To among other things identify: Short term quick wins; Priorities for investment; Plans for development; Employment and support of ICT services and infrastructure which support the County’s Citizen outreach, learning, and administrative activities; A change management plan; Detailed strategies for refinement and evaluation of performance, culture, communications, data reporting and any other strategic management identified issues necessary for successful implementation of the roadmap in relation to ICT services for the Bomet County Government

ApproachThe development of the roadmap involved consultative meetings with the County leadership in the two arms and the Public Service Board. The Consultancy team collected data across the functions and departments of the County Government and validated the information before generating a status report. Further consultations with the stakeholders informed finalisation of the first draft under the stewardship of the planning and technical committees. The ICT Authority has also validated each stage of the development process. This roadmap is benchmarked on the global, regional and national ICT trends, demands, expectations, standards and best practices. It analyses the status of ICT in the county and analyses the gaps using the maturity level analysis. Finally, four thematic roadmaps and three cross cutting themes are discussed.

The Bomet ICT roadmap aligns itself to the national ICT Master-plan. It seeks to position the County in delivering efficient ICT enabled services. Currently, ICT integration is low in public service delivery. In addition, the existing systems are sub-optimal.

The Roadmap covers the following thematic areas;1. Infrastructure and Connectivity2. Public Service Delivery and 3. Human Capital and Workforce Development4. Policy Environment and Legal Framework

Installation of the National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI) that terminates at the county Head Quarters and 95% GSM network coverage are notable achievements in the county. This has greatly improved the ICT connectivity in the county. However, the ICT assessment highlights the following ICT gaps that have formed the basis of the roadmap;

1. Infrastructure and Connectivity; Limited ICT infrastructure and poor connectivity2. Public Service Delivery; Lack of integrated information management system and a

limited ICT enabled public service delivery systems

Page 11: BOMET COUNTY GOVERNMENT ICT ROADMAP (2015-2020)

Bomet County Government ICT Roadmap 2015-2020

11

3. Human Capital and Workforce Development; Lack of a comprehensive training programme for the county staff (training needs assessment, training and user support) and low ICT skills

4. Policy Environment and Legal Framework; Lack of ICT governance, policies and procedures

In addition to the above, the county lacks a shared services plan, a change management plan and has limited citizen involvement and participation. An assessment of the ICT maturity level in the County Government of Bomet is currently rating significantly below average with a score of about 274.2 on the weighted maturity ratio and a category maturity of 1.3. The current ICT infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms do not meet ICT needs of the county.

The findings confirm the need for a significant County ICT Roadmap and a high investment to accelerate the delivery of the identified ICT infrastructure, information systems, processes and required skills to support the ICT Vision. The roadmap identifies important and priority gap- closure projects to facilitate the desired ICT maturity level. The roadmap shall also seek to optimise ICT by implementing a shared services plan, a change management plan, citizen participation and involvement mechanisms. This roadmap shall be supported by a functional governance, management and organisation structure.

To achieve the desired state, Bomet County Government shall require an investment of Kshs.915, 790,550 (USD9, 954,245).

1. INTRODUCTION& BACKGROUNDThe second Medium Term Plans (MTP) (2013-2017) of the Vision 2030 considers ICT as one of the foundations for economic growth, ‘strengthening the foundations of a knowledge-based economy’. The plan highlights ICT as a critical tool in the Kenya’s vision for a knowledge-based economy. The County Government of Bomet through this five-year ICT roadmap seeks to leverage on the advantages of ICT investment as an essential driver that will bring forth improved economic development. The plan will focus the county’s ICT investment under the following areas: ICT infrastructure and connectivity, Public service delivery systems, human resource and capacity building and policy environment and legal frameworks

1.1. Background of the CountyThis section presents the location and position of the County Government of Bomet, its administrative and political units as well as the arms of the County Government.

1.1.1County General InformationBomet County is located in the Rift Valley part of Kenya. It borders Kericho to the North, Narok to the South, Nakuru to the North East and Nyamira to the West. It is located between latitude 0°29’ and 1° 03’to the South and longitude 35° 05’ and 35° 35’to the East. The County has a land surface of 2,037.4 Km2. The County consists of five (5) sub counties (constituencies), 25 wards, 67 locations and 176 sub locations. The five sub counties (constituencies) are Bomet Central, Bomet East, Chepalungu, Sotik and Konoin. The summary of the political and administrative units of Bomet County

The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) indicates that the population of Bomet county as per 2009 census stood at 723,813 (male-359,531; female – 364,282).

1.1.2. County ExecutiveThe County Executive consists of various departments (sometimes referred to as Ministries). The County Executive Committee Members and Chief Officers (who are the accounting officers) head the departments. The directors and their respective directorates perform the technical aspects of the departments. The Governor with the approval of the County Assembly appoints the County Executive committee members and chief officers.

The County Government is fully established and has 11 Executive departments. Bomet Town is the County headquarters and hosts all the offices spread across Bomet town. The county headquarters as well as most of the County Government office spaces have been constructed or taken over from the previous national government offices. The County Government has rented some offices such as Water & Irrigation and Education departments. The other lower administrative offices of the County Government including sub-counties, wards and villages are in their respective geographical areas. The Executive functions are further devolved to the five sub-counties (headed by Sub-County Administrators), then to 25 wards (Ward Administrators) and down to the villages.

1.1.3. The County AssemblyThe Speaker elected by the Members of the County Assembly heads the County Assembly of Bomet. An elected Member of the County Assembly (MCA) represents each Ward in the Assembly. The Assembly is composed of 25 elected members and 10 nominated members making 35 members. The County Assembly executes its legislative, oversight and representation roles through established nine (10) sectoral committees of the Assembly.

Bomet County Government ICT Roadmap 2015-2020

13

The County Assembly has the following departments: - Committee Services, Administration, Security and Internal Audit. These are further divided into the following sections that support running of the Assembly:- ICT, Hansard, Finance, Procurement, Budget & Research, Legal, Human Resources and Public Relations.

1.1.4 ICT Department in the CountyThe ICT function in Bomet County is a directorate under the department of Finance, Economic Planning and ICT. The general mandates of the directorate are: • To support ICT development, investments and applications/use;

• To harness ICT for efficient and effective County governance, economic growth and job creation for the youth;

• To support the County achieve its vision as a “Prosperous and competitive County in socio-economic and political development offering high quality services to its people,”

1.2. ScopeThe Bomet County ICT Roadmap 2015/2016-2019/2020 is a clear, concise and coordinated approach to delivering quality ICT services to the people of Bomet County. The following four principles guided the development of this Roadmap; ICT as an enabler for service delivery; Desire to deliver better public service at lower costs; Sharing of resources and Desire to offer high quality services.

1.3. ICT Achievements, Challenges and Lessons Learnt The County has achieved several milestones that include NOFBI terminating at the County headquarters; LAN set up in almost 50% of the departments; VOIP communication system has been installation in almost all the departments; acquisition of some ICT equipment; 95% of county GSM network coverage

Even with the above achievements, the County still faces a number of challenges that include: first, the ICT department is under-established and unable to serve the needs of the County Government. Secondly, most of the departments are scattered within the county Head Quarters posing a further challenge in communication and establishment of a LAN; and thirdly, ICT policy is still in draft form awaiting review by the assembly and approval for implementation.

Bomet County has learnt several lessons that include goodwill from departments to improve on service delivery, need for more involvement of private sector in implementation of ICT Roadmap, and the need for good working relationship between the ICT technical teams in county executive and assembly.

2. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS The Bomet County ICT Roadmap aligns to the policies and strategies proposed in the National ICT Master Plan, the Broadband Strategy Paper and the Infrastructure sharing Paper as the key papers to spearhead Kenya’s ICT sector. The following are the thematic areas that are guiding the ICT roadmap’s current assessment and proposed implementation.

2.1. ICT Human Capital and Workforce DevelopmentSuccessful implementation of products and services is dependent on a highly skilled and motivated workforce. The ICT staff should be equipped with focused technical skills as well as appropriate managerial and leadership skills. The County Government of Bomet will continue to enhance its workforce capacity through assessment of current and future needs, identifying capacity gaps and developing relevant and effective capacity building programmes. 2.2. Integrated ICT InfrastructureThis foundation seeks to provide the integrated infrastructure backbone required to enable cost effective delivery of ICT products and services to Kenyans, business community and other stakeholders. There are four sub-marine cables that offer connectivity from the country to the rest of the world; TEAMS, EASSY, SEACOM and LION. The National Optical Fibre Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI I) has interconnected over 23 counties, Bomet being one of the counties. In Kenya, the most utilised and accessible infrastructure is the mobile phone.

2.3. Integrated Information InfrastructureThis foundation concerns itself with the creation, continuous accessibility and archiving of public information. Currently data is not well organised and is very difficult to access electronically. The master plan proposes that Kenya develops and implements public data hubs based on secure infrastructure for efficient and effective citizen centric services. Bomet County is still contemplating how to establish Huduma centres to improve access to information and services to the citizens

2.4. National Government Enterprise ArchitectureICTA has developed the Kenyan Government Wide Enterprise Architecture (GEA) Framework as a minimum standard to use across all government departments and agencies. The GEA Framework intends to supersede any prevailing Enterprise Architecture and ICT planning frameworks and methods in use in government. County Governments are no exception to this policy requirement. Hence the need for Bomet County Government to conform and abide by the GEA framework as prescribed by the government policy.

except the G-Pay through the IFMIS. Departments have to bring their manually approved payment vouchers to the County Treasury for payment;

• IPPD is used for payroll payment but is not connected to IFMIS. The transfers of salary vouchers are manual.

• LAIFOMS is used to collect some of the revenue and is not connected to IFMIS

Human Resource • The number of staff in ICT department at the County Executive is inadequate;

• The County Assembly requires more technical staff in ICT• Few institutions are available in the county to train on ICT

Policy Environment

• There are no legislations on ICT• There is a draft ICT policy that is yet to be approved by the County

Assembly

2.6. Bomet County ICT Gap AnalysisThis section analyses the existing gaps that limit Bomet County from optimising and deploying ICT in service delivery. It uses the maturity level analysis to establish gaps in the existing ICT environment and the desired ICT optimisation in Bomet County

2.6.1. Bomet County ICT Maturity Level AnalysisThe first step in ICT development is to assess the status in understanding the areas for development to raise the maturity level of the ICT environment.

ICT Standard’s maturity analysis is a self-assessment where each ICT function gets a score according to a scale that is consistent with CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) model. This way, the organisation will have visibility about the maturity of ICT and how people inside and outside of the organisation view it.

Organisations cannot implement ICT developments as a single project. They must implement it as a coordinated program that evolves over time. A maturity model will enable organisations to identify their maturity stages and what actions to take to reach the next level.

4. SUCCESS FACTORS This chapter defines the governance, implementation plan, ongoing projects, priorities and quick win, critical success factors and risk factors of the ICT Roadmap informed by the stakeholders contacted and literature review both before and during the planning process

4.1. Governance, Management and OrganisationThe Bomet County ICT Roadmap requires a standardised, flexible and efficient ICT infrastructure to enable delivery of these objectives in an effective, secure and sustainable manner. Above all, it seeks to reduce inefficiency, replication of systems and duplication of effort. Currently, technology investment planning is department-specific, often near-term focused, and is biased significantly towards the purchase of technology infrastructure capital assets.

The ICT Directorate in the Finance, Planning and ICT Department is currently implementing ICT projects. Other departments have also implemented ICT projects either with County or donor agency funds. A structure constituting of the Planning and Technical Committees is proposed for the governance, management and delivery of the goals and objectives of the Bomet County ICT Roadmap. Its objective is to bring about increased accountability, transparency, reduce duplication, and greater emphasis on performance to bring about the desired efficiencies and effectiveness and therefore an increased return on ICT investment. Other proposed changes in the governance, management and delivery of the County ICT Roadmap include:

1. Expansion of the mandate of the ICT Directorate; This can be improved further by considering the following key responsibilities dependent on the level of future outsourcing and the available budget; strategy and projects, ICT security, data centre support, and Help desk.

2. Establishment and institutionalisation of the Planning and Technical Committees that are representative of all County executive departments, County Assembly and the Public Service Board;

3. Establishment of forums for involvement of the private sector, and county citizenry in projects formulation;

4. Assignment of ICT Projects M&E function to the Planning and Technical Committees;5. Centralised management of County government ICT under the ICT Directorate to a

drive common standards, infrastructure and capabilities strategy.

4.2. Shared Services PlanBomet County ICT service aims to provide services to other Countries and organisations and may consume Shared Services from other Counties providing it is the appropriate solution for the County. Therefore, the funding and resourcing of the services are shared and the providing department becomes the internal provider. Some of the key services identified include; data centre, communication infrastructure, application/systems across departments, national systems among others.

The basis for shared services in Bomet County is achieving efficiency and cost savings by the use of local or available resources through reduced duplication and maximisation of local expertise. An action plan based the shared services plan will be developed for all delivery mechanisms within Bomet County, other Counties and the National Government in collaboration with ICTA because some of the services are national.

4.3. Change Management PlanThe ICT Authority recommends the establishment of a Governance Committee, Technical Committee and a Secretariat as critical for the successful implementation of the developed ICT Roadmap for the Bomet County.

There is need to align the Bomet County governance structure with the ICT Roadmap which will mean reviewing the ICT Department Structure in relation to all executive department. This will ensure viable ICT Projects implementation structure that can deliver the ICT Roadmap. Since ICT is currently a only a directorate in one of the ten departments, it is essential that the Bomet County established a Project Management Office that will work with the ICT Roadmap proposed Committees including the Technical and Planning Committees.

Secondly, it is important for the Bomet County to define a technical structure that will ensure successful Roadmap implementation. This will be handled through management of anticipated structural changes and management of the projects related to the roadmap. A Change Agent and a technical agent with relevant expertise will be required. Such partners must have the relevant expertise and experience to play the following roles:

4.4. Citizen Involvement and Participation PlanProvide citizens with timely information about the county projects, Provide appropriate means to ensure continuity of involvement of citizens or residents organisations throughout all the stages.

4.5. Other Critical Success FactorsThe Roadmap shall observe the following critical success factors to ensure the successful implementation of this roadmap:

1. Clarity: The ICT scope and governance within the county i.e. ICT HR Management Structure, Top management and Staff

2. People – Staff and Citizens: - Change management across Staff and citizens, Attitude change; Systems/technology change and Structural change

3. Resources and Financing: - Development of Private and Public Partnerships (PPP)

4. Technology development i.e. Information as a resource ICT Infrastructure - NOFBI , Mobile network coverage, Data Centre, Systems and Applications; bridging the digital Divide between Rural and urban areas

5. Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework:- Development of a Comprehensive County policy, legal and regulatory framework

6. Risk management:- Addressing effects of anticipated Risks7. Project Management Office or Unit that results in effective transformation of

the ICT sector in the county4.6. Communication StrategyCommunication is critical to the successful strategy implementation. Therefore, this ICT Roadmap requires an effective communication plan that involves all the stakeholders.

4.7. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)An effective and commensurate monitoring and evaluation system is necessary to ensure timely, focused, objective and evidence-based information on the performance of the Bomet County ICT road map implementation. Continuous observation, monitoring, measurement, feedback and corrective action will inform the anchorage of the County M&E system.

Page 27: BOMET COUNTY GOVERNMENT ICT ROADMAP (2015-2020)

Bomet County Government ICT Roadmap 2015-2020

27

The CEC in charge of ICT department and the County Assembly ICT Director will be responsible for the M & E process. In consultation with the Heads of departments (Directors and Chief Officers), the CEC in charge of ICT department will prepare reporting formats for the ICT road map, incorporating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are selected from the implementation matrix. He/she will collate, verify, analyse and compile the monthly, quarterly and annual M&E reports on ICT road map developments from the various departments for onward transmission to the County Senior Management (Governor and CEC level monthly/quarterly meetings).

The evaluation system will provide for annual assessments of the results arising from the implementation of the road map objectives. The County with the help of an external consultant shall undertake a mid-term review the end of year two and at the end of the Plan period. The purpose of the mid-term review will be to improve overall plan implementation while the terminal evaluation will facilitate the improvement of the next County ICT road map through lessons learned during the implementation of the current Plan. The County may conduct an Impact Assessment on the KPIs after the roadmap implementation to document economic growth and increase of the GDP because of the ICT implementation, increased employment and Return on Investment (ROI)

5. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITISATIONThe ICT Directorate Roadmap will consolidate ongoing county ICT projects and in some cases expanding their scope to meet the County Government’s transformational goals. New initiatives as concepts and benefits prove, and will typically require business cases as well subjected to portfolio/Programme management.

5.1. Priority services and Quick WinsThe County considers the following to be the priorities that shall see quick wins in the County:- Provide the county staff with ICT devices; Infrastructure development (Internal network and connectivity); Complete the LAN in all the departments.
