Description of Project Activities. The Project assisted the Romanian government by providing legal and technical assistance needed to establish a regulatory and policy framework that allows a market economy to flourish and compete in the global market, where use and deployment of ICTs are essential. The Project pursued the original objectives assigned and performed additional tasks requested by the ANRC, the MCTI, or the USAID/Romania Mission. In 2003, given changes in levels of multilateral donor funding, the Project, with concurrence from USAID/Romania, focused more attention on working with the MCTI. This meant a greater number of policy issues were addressed that strengthen the competitiveness of the ICT market and increasing information security and privacy issues concerning use of e-Government applications and growth of e-commerce.

Description of Project Activities. The Project will support two principal types of activities (i) cross-country technical support, training and workshops in the context of refining and implementing the national Decade action plans; and (ii) monitoring and evaluation of Decade implementation across the eight Decade countries. The project will finance short term consultant fees, travel, and media and workshop costs.2 Initiatives will be identified and approved by a three person panel which includes a World Bank representative, a one representative each to be named by the current and immediately previous holders of the Decade Presidency. In order to identify funding priorities, the panel will consult with an advisory panel -- to be established -- made up of one steering group member from each of the nine government delegations (including Montenegro). Prior to approval, all contract proposals will be shared virtually (by mail or internet) for comments by the advisory panel. The panel will take into consideration the advice and comments of the advisory committee, but will not be bound by the advice of this committee when approving contracts.
