The Ministry of Information Communication Technology is Mandated by the Government of Zimbabwe to develop appropriate policies and strategies that enhance provision of information communication technology innovations The Ministry of ICT is new and its operations are cross cutting thus making it a Ministry whose services and advice would assist not only other ministries, but also the society at lar
ge. The Ministry believes that 21st century economies are based on how countries are able to exploit the potential of ICTs and it is imperative that it establishes a vibrant ICT sector that contributes to the national economy. Infrastructure development for all ICT services is at the centre of the ministry, so is e-government services and applications. The ICT Policy framework offers a strong base for the Ministry to take off and finalize the development of the ICT Bill and other statutory instruments in consultation with all stakeholders. The ICT Ministry together with its relevant communications parastatals offer a platform that harmonizes and streamlines ICT related operations and avoid unnecessary duplications that in many ways hinder effective progress.
