Challenges to address
This project will strengthen scientific and technological development at UMSS within the framework of the university and in accordance with Bolivia’s development policies and plans. SPIDER has an advisory role in the making and implementation of an ICT master plan for UMSS.
Activities
The Master Plan has two main sections: (1) “ICT Policy for UMSS” and (2) “ICT Master Plan for UMSS”. It is conceived to define strategies, policies, guidelines, objectives and actions to be carried out for a proper development of ICT at the university.
In order to ensure empowerment of the ICT users, relevance and legitimacy, the Master Plan has been prepared through a participatory process involving the various stakeholders at UMSS. The document is finalised and is pending approval from the university council.
