VISION 20-2020 • The World Bank had projected in 2008 that information technology would be responsible on a scale of 70/30, for determining real growth in most countries from 2015 and that by 2020, the most critical factor that would separate developed economies from non-developed ones would be hinged on whether a country would be an ICT have or ICT have-not country. • ICT is one of the best performing sectors in the World Bank’s portfolio, both in terms of returns and development impact. • There are several ways in which the provision of ICTs can directly impact on improving the state of ALL the indicative parameters for Vision 20-2020.
