Realising the benefits through better governance
Connectivity through universal broadband infrastructure is a key social enabler and a policy priority for many governments around the world.
The governance of National Broadband Plans (NBP) must evolve and remain fit for purpose to oversee the programme across its key stages. Many approaches to implementing NBPs attempt to establish linear governance across the six sequential stages; however, the experience shows that clear management of the vertical elements at each stage is more critical to programme success.
This paper explores:
- Establishing effective governance of NBP
- Monitoring and assuring delivery of NBP
- Maximising the economic and social impacts of connectivity
