It has three subcomponents as follows: (i) Enabling Environment Program; (ii) IT and ITES Skills Development and Certification Program; and (iii) ICT Innovation Ecosystem. 3) The third component, Project Implementation Support, aims to provide resources for Project implementation through a Project Coordination Unit (PCU). |
