...Strategic Planning for eServices1 A Short Tutorial for the Beginners2 Amjad Umar, Ph.D. Senior Technical Advisor, United Nations-GAID Executive Summary Strategic planning of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)-based services, abbreviated as eServices, is a crucial task for the public as well as private sectors. Given a strategic project (or an initiative), a strategic planning process identifies the main alternatives, the key business/technical issues involved in each alternative, and helps in evaluation and selection of the most viable alternatives before initiating the project. To succeed, the strategic planning process must explore a large number of people, process and technology issues and eliminate surprises. This is not easy because the task of eservices planning in the digital age is considerably complicated due to the changing business and technical landscape and an ever-growing body of knowledge. This short tutorial gives a quick overview of the vast body of knowledge that entails a typical strategic ICT planning process and presents a conceptual framework for further exploration of this important area. 1. An Example – eServices for a City Ms Fran Kuye is mayor of a city with one million inhabitants, located in a developing country.She wants to use the knowledge gained from her MPA (Master of Public Administration) to transform her city to a “Digital City” that heavily relies on eservices to support its citizens. Her overall goal is...

Ugwuishiwu & K.C. Ugwu Department of Computer Science University of Nigeria Nsukka, Nigeria Chilkodili.ugwuishiwu@unn.edu.ng H.C. Inyiamah Department of Computer Engineering Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria drhcinyiama@gmail ABSTRACT The problems of narcotic drugs in Nigeria as manifested in the cultivation, trafficking and abuse of drug is of increasing concern to the government, social researchers, and other stakeholders. The impact of illicit drugs continues to threaten the economies and social structures of both producing and consuming countries. This paper presents an implementation framework for a reliable, efficient and mobile real- time crime information system (CIS) that will help to maintain instant flow of information between the general public and NDLEA. This application solved this problem through a just-in-time flow of crime information from an informant who could be an individual, corporate body or any other government agency to the NDLEA office for a necessary action. This kind of information if handled properly will lead to illicit drug supply suppression hence reduce its availability as well as other substances of abuse. It will also help in drug demand reduction which result in a decline...

...Make reasoned recommendation about how particular organisation can take advantage of IT development. As an ICT manager working for full of beans, I have made it clear that the development of ICT is increasing, therefore giving organisations no choice but to adapt to the changes. It’s my duty to explain to the owners and employees of full of beans how the ICT development can have a positive impact on the organisation. For example, fast processing which is essential for banks and vast storage capacity which reduces the amount of paper work. Hardware and software are both being used by organisation to help them accomplish certain tasks e.g. using (MIS) management information system. Hardware and software increased in power, capacity and sophistication, therefore allowing organisation to expand and work more efficiently. I strongly recommend that full of beans make use of this opportunity to adapt to the ICT developments. One great example of a new development full of beans can take advantage of is the recent wireless technology, many organisations responded to this change by adapting to the change. In order for full of beans to take full advantage of the ICT development, obviously the manager first needs a presentation on the capabilities of these development and how it will benefit their organisation. There are many new developments that organisation took advantage of, I will explain some of these development in more detail below. Wireless technology This is a great development...

...sector product and services that are responsive to the needs of citizens and businesses as well as capacity creation. For a variety of reasons (economic and policy), developing countries like Kenya are less equipped to take advantage of the potential in ICT to stimulate growth, and are likely to fall behind advanced economies. The Kenya ICT Master Plan is therefore not designed in isolation, given that there is evidence from developed countries that investment in ICT facilitates economic growth by increasing productivity. As the Kenya Government ensures an enabling ICT environment and regulatory framework, this plan aims at stimulating the setup of ICT-related businesses to enhance employment creation. At the heart of this document is a strategic intent to develop a robust ICT sector that will enhance economic growth through creation of businesses and hence employment. In the execution of this plan, Kenya will become a leading ICT hub for the region, improve the lives of her citizens and see significant ICT-led economic growth in line with Vision 2030. This ICT Master Plan aims at building and promoting an environment where more service sector businesses are created and are able to thrive through leveraging on ICT. ICT offers key benefits that make life simpler and more convenient for citizens and businesses and...

...search for keywords in the encrypted data and use the encrypted data as an input to computation or comparison operations. Because decrypting data stored at the cloud servers may possibly expose its content to the provider servers at least, so it is advised that it is more secure to decrypt data only on trusted machines which are controlled by the user who is authorized to access the data. Figure 2.2 Basic Architecture for Preserving Data Privacy in the Cloud Figure 2.2 shows the basic architecture of encryption for privacy protection before sending it to the cloud server. The data remain encrypted in the cloud server and only authorized users can get the credential for accessing this encrypted data. The encrypted data can be decrypted only after the data are downloaded to an authorized user device or machine. In such scenario, the privacy of the data doesn’t depend on any implicit assumption of trust of the server or the service level of agreement (SLA). Instead, the protection of privacy or integrity completely depends on the encryption techniques used to protect the data [45ECC]. The other leftover issues are how to allow the authorized users and data owner to search...
