National Computing Centre

 

NCC Objectives

 

One of the primary functions of a National Computing Centre would be as an e-government initiative at the level of IT support, application development, high level short term professional training, consultancy services and research & development.

 

The ICT technical staff in various Ministries and public institutions will need to be supported in more specialized tasks such as installing a network or creating/programming a new database, preparing tender document, assessment of proposed solutions. This support would come from a team of experts in the National Computing Centre. There should be good communication and regular reporting between the ICT teams in the ministries and the NCC. This will enable staff at the NCC to identify common problems and propose solutions and/or improvements where appropriate. Members of ministerial ICT teams should be encouraged and given the opportunity to spend sabbaticals in the NCC, where they could shadow NCC staff in order to improve their technical skills.
