  8. TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CARICOM Infrastructure here refers to the physical equipment and networking capabilities needed for an efficient system. The indicators under this theme seek to provide information regarding the infrastructure.

  9. TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE:Indicators and Justification CARICOM Indicators: No of computers in government offices relative to number of users Percentage of population owning or having access to a computer with an internet connection Type of communications network existing in government offices Justification: Seeks to measure the availability of computers in government offices and to the general public as well as the type of network existing in government offices, which is not sufficient can have implications for cost.

The posting of contracts to be awarded using an ICT medium is an indication of the government embracing technology and also up keeping a fair, open and transparent process
