<p class="MsoNormal">I think it's time the Government considers the role of Chief Information Officer to really manage the strategic thrust of all ICT initiatives across ministries. The CIO can then be held accountable for overall efficiency and security of
all Government ICT Systems. This CIO needs to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer (President) of the country. Now, that person could be seconded or be a part of the ICTA with a doted line responsibility to the CS, MOICT...</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ali,<br>
<br>
ERP grew from MRP (Material Resource Planning which was a means of<br>
planning and allocating resources in Factories. The difference between<br>
the two is that MRP's were stand alone systems whereas ERP's are<br>
modular and have more functionality. From an evolution perspective ,<br>
it would be ideal to manage IFMIS from Ministry of Finance since they<br>
are the custodians of the treasury and normally allocate resources<br>
through the budgeting process. From a Project Management perspective,<br>
it would be ideal to manage IFMIS from ICTA since it is the<br>
specialized agency meant to manage government technology investments.<br>
