MCIT hopes to create an integrated ICT system between the various ministries within the Governement of Romania, which would serve as a pilot program that could eventually be expanded to integrate schools, libraries, and local governments into one database. To ensure this pilot is more successful than previous projects, this technical assistance (TA) will also assist MCIT in redefining how it could be better positioned and empowered to assess, guide, coordinate, and lead in refining and/or developing and establishing ICT plans, standards, operational methodologies, organizational processes, schedules, budgets, procurements, training, maintenance, upgrades and future adaptations for the common ICT needs of Romanian public administration. This Technical Assistance will include the following tasks: Trip Preparation, Background Research, and Establish Contacts; Collecting Data, International Best Practices Data Collection; Analyzing Data, Inputs and Drafting the Report and Presentation (includes environmental and developmental impact assessments); and delivery of Draft Final Report; Present Action Plan to Senior Government Officials.
