Our
operational modality is built on the fundamental factors as listed below:
1.
Partnerships: Our business focus is anchored on ‘NeGSted’
partnerships with a view to securing strong cooperation, as well as
collaboration in pursuit of our Mission and Vision. We are therefore committed
to strengthening collaborative efforts with governments, private sector,
international community, financial institutions, technology providers and
others. By so doing, we have evolved a strong Public Private Partnership model made
up of:
- Project
Owner – the Agency who owns project;
- Project
Operator – also known as the Service
Provider
- Project
Financier – for funding and financial
management; and
- Project
Manager – for integration,
interoperability and end-to-end project management (NeGSt).
This
model serves to guarantee strong government commitment, private sector funding,
financial discipline, technical expertise and compliance with standards and regulations
in order to ensure adequate returns on investment.
2.
Leadership: In line with our Mission and
Vision, we identify and build a core group of leaders and champions in the
Ministries, Departments and Agencies to drive the transformation agenda of the
Federal Government of Nigeria. We refer to this set of people as eGovernment Champions.
They form the anchor point of our business with the agencies.
3.
eReadiness: This deals with the level of
readiness of the Agency to embrace the new order. Preparedness involves
attention to internal core infrastructure needs to ensure that adequate skills,
tools, and processes are in place for meeting the new challenges. In this
regards, NeGSt has developed a programme called eReadiness Capacity Building, (eRCB)
which aims to enhance the readiness of human, infrastructural and operational
capacities. This also includes Change Management, Business Process
Re-engineering, Back-office Reorganization and new organisational model.
4.
Strategy Development: At the core of our operations is strategy
development. We have continued to evolve strategies for successful programmes
and projects delivery. We recognise that each agency and project require
similar implementation but different strategies for successful delivery. This
affects not only the way we design and specify requirements, but also the
manner in which we source, deploy and manage resources. This task includes
effective project scoping, design, implementation and management in line with international
best practices.
5.
Standardization and Variety Reduction: Standardization
is achieved through systems integration which creates interoperability between
agencies of Government to ensure seamless data exchange to promote transparency,
accountability and sustainability as common and universal world class standards
and guidelines are developed and adopted across the board.
6.
Monitoring and Evaluation: The most important aspect of any
project is monitoring, measurement and evaluation of KPI with a view to
accessing impact. NeGSt will engage in effective end-to-end evaluation of all
programmes and projects to ensure that agreed outcomes are achieved. Quarterly reports
which detect vulnerabilities and proffer solutions are issued to project owners
as a matter of routine.
