Since the early 1990s the government has emphasised the information and communication technology (ICT) sector as a new engine of growth and development. The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) which was developed in 1996 was regarded as a main vehichle and catalyst for ICT sector development. Since there were many new institutions established by the government, it some how had complicated and decreased efficiency in expanding the industry. ICT related courses at public and private institutions were not developed well enough to meet the market demand. Consequently, the human factor, which was a major component for ICT development, was not fully utilised in research and development, therefore reliance on foreign technology remained a critical issue. These have slowed the progress of ICT development. This paper will discuss the ICT sector development policy in a broad view and try to analyse critically to what extent the development of ICT sector has contributed to economic development in Malaysia.

The Information and Communication Technology Master Plan—ICTMP—is an important tool for the achievement of the strategic business objectives of public and private organizations. In the public sector, these objectives are closely related to the provision of benefits to society. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) actions are present in all organizational processes and involves size-able budgets. The risks inherent in the planning of ICT actions need to be considered for ICT to add value to the business and to maximize the return on investment to the population. In this context, this work intends to examine the use of risk management processes in the development of ICTMPs in the Brazilian public sector.

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) bagi petani dalam mengakses kredit masih rendah. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh rendahnya aksesibilitas petani terhadap program-program kredit. Informasi-informasi yang berkenaan program pembiayaan/kredit dari pemerintah belum diperoleh petani secara merata. Bahkan, seringkali informasi tersebut tidak diperoleh sama sekali. Di samping itu, petani masih beranggapan bahwa program-program kredit yang ditawarkan oleh lembaga formal memiliki prosedur yang panjang, sulit dan berbelit-belit. Oleh karena itu, seringkali petani pada akhirnya memilih untuk memperoleh modal dari kredit yang ditawarkan oleh lembaga nonformal, meskipun dengan bunga yang tinggi. Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dapat menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan akses petani terhadap program pembiayaan/kredit dari pemerintah. Hal ini juga perlu diupayakan oleh pemerintah sebagai peningkatan pelayanan publik bagi petani (e-Government). Dengan memanfaatkan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), diharapkan dapat membuka akses petani terhadap berbagai informasi terkait program kredit dari pemerintah serta dapat pula membantu petani untuk memperpendek prosedur yang harus dilalui dalam memperoleh kredit. Selama ini pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) pada sektor pertanian, sebagian besar masih terfokus pada informasi seputar teknologi budidaya dan pemasaran hasil pertanian. Sehingga diperlukan perhatian khusus dari pemerintah untuk memberikan layanan dan informasi terkait kredit bagi petani. Utilization of Information and communication Technology (ICT) for farmers in accessing credit is still low. This is addressed by the low accessibility of farmers to funding / credit programs from the government that has not been obtained evenly. In fact, often the information is not obtained at all. Besides that, farmers still think that credit programs offered by formal institutions have a long, difficult, and complicated procedure. Therefore, often farmers ultimately choose to obtain capital and credit offered by non-formal institutions, even with high interest rates. Information and communication technology (ICT) can be a solution to improve farmers' access to government financing or credit programs. It also needs to be pursued by the government as an increase in public services for farmers (e-government). By utilizing information and communication technology (ICT), farmers are expected to be able to open access to various information related to credit programs from the government and can also help farmers to shorten the procedures that must be passed in obtaining credit. During this time the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the agricultural sector is still largely focused on information about cultivation technology and marketing of agricultural products so that special attention is needed from the Government to provide services and information related to credit for farmers.

Use Of Internet

This paper studies the effect of digitalization on the perception of corruption and trust in tax officials in Africa. Using individual-level data from Afrobarometer surveys and several indices of digitalization, we find that an increase in digital adoption is associated with a reduction in the perception of corruption and an increase in trust in tax officials. Exploiting the exogeneous deployment of submarine cables at the local level, the paper provides evidence of a negative impact of the use of Internet on the perception of corruption. Yet, the paper shows that the dampening effect of digitalization on corruption is hindered in countries where the government has a pattern of intentionally shutting down the Internet, while countries that successfully promote information and communication technology (ICT) enjoy a more amplified effect.

Role Of Information

The purpose of extension is to disseminate advice to farmers. Knowledge gaps contribute to yield gaps. Services and quality inputs are essential productivity-enhancing tools. However, their optimum use requires knowledge. Farmers also need information on prices and markets, post-harvest management, produce quality determinants, and safety standards. Some farmers marshal knowledge themselves. The “resource-poor” majority, growers of much of India’s food, need external, science-based, extension to complement local knowledge. Much debate focuses on how best to achieve the desired outcomes that extension can convey. Many countries have neglected extension and indeed agriculture as a whole. But interest appears to be returning globally, and India is no exception. In 2009, a National Seminar on Agriculture Extension discussed knowledge management, convergence of extension systems, the role of information and communication technology and mass media, private sector initiatives including public–private partnerships, and farmer- and market-led extension systems. This article builds on that discussion. It looks at extension in relation to both primary production and market links, and acknowledges the contributions of all providers of extension, public and private.

The development of mobile and mobile technology has given the Government the opportunity to utilize Mobile Information and Communication Technology (M-ICT) to help facilitate daily administration and to provide better services to citizens, businesses and government institutions through the use of mobile technology. The number of cellular telephone users in Indonesia continues to grow and now it has reached 50.6 million customers. Therefore, the application of m-Government in Indonesia is an interesting material to be studied. There are many forms of services that can be provided by m-Government, one of which is service in government offices for stakeholders of the state civil apparatus. This research takes place in the Office of Communication and Information (Diskominfo), which is one part of the Regional Work Unit (SKPD) in West Bandung Regency, and focuses on the existence of monitoring activities of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the SKPD. ASN always plays an important role in the daily activities of the government bureaucracy, therefore it is necessary to manage employee data in order to achieve quality assurance on employee performance. Diskominfo West Bandung Regency has a number of employees of approximately 150 employees spread in 3 fields. The use of M-Government technology is believed to be able to provide a necessity to resolve the challenges that must be overcome, one of which is the external office / city monitoring of the ASN Diskominfo. This research will build a m-Government application in Diskominfo, West Bandung Regency to monitor the activities of the state civil apparatus (ASN), which uses smart cellphones based on Android as its media.

Teaching Learning

The study was conducted focused on the utilization of Information and Communication Technology in Technical-Vocational Schools in Region V, Philippines, School Year 2011-2012. It determined the profile of teachers, adequacy of ICT equipment, competence of teachers and their relationships. The data were gathered through a questionnaire-checklist formulated by the researcher. The validity and reliability of the instrument were ensured. Findings revealed that the majority of the teachers are 26 years old and above. Three-fourths of them have attended a very minimal number (1-3 times) of ICT – related training. Eighty-four percent of the teachers have master’s degrees; fifty percent of them have served the government for more than 10 years; fifty-eight percent were occupying Teacher I position; twelve percentage designated to different administrative functions. There is fairly adequate ICT tools and equipment and the teachers are competent in working with word processors only. Furthermore, the age of teachers and the competences is significantly related to using ICT tools and equipment. The researcher concluded that there is a dearth of ICT-related training for teachers of all age levels and ICT tools and equipment should be procured to sustain the development of competence among teachers. It is recommended therefore to implement the proposed ICT development plan and the conduct of further research on the extent of utilization of ICT tools and equipment along the actual teaching-learning process.
