    30. As mentioned at the beginning, we realised that South Africa needed an explicit, strategic national shared vision, a clear, comprehensive, integrated and aligned framework and; the institutional means to strategically co-ordinate the implementation of such a vision, to effectively monitor, evaluate its impact and review progress. In view of the developments that was shared it should be clear that all of the above are now in place. 30 Making South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic Development CLOSING REMARKS (3)
