• EA/GIF Component

16

• General observations
• Various stages of development among the countries
  represented here
• Nepal at a very initial stage EA component
  kicked-off only last week

17
EA for Nepal, the approach

• IT strategy and EA delivery framework would be
  based primarily on TOGAF
• Well articulated relationship between business,
  data, application and system architecture
• Conceptual design based on SOA
• Strategy for ensuring intensive stakeholder
  participation in the process
• Intensive focus on stakeholder buy-in
• Initiating public debate around EA
• Presence of press and academia during launching
• Need to raise the level of awareness on the
  importance of EA/GIF
• Policy posturing
• Open standard and open source

18
Key challenges

• Resistance to change (in BPR scenarios)
• Political commitment still an issue
• Need to work on EA/GIF governance issue from the
  very beginning
• Transition management
