The Role of STPs in Strengthening ICT Contribution to SDGs Achievement

The main idea of this paper was to develop an ICT-enabled transformation (IET) analytical framework including all key players and their positions, the levels and types of interactions between players and contextual factors to demonstrate systematically the role of STPs and AOIs in fostering ICT contribution to SDGs achievements. The main focus of IET analytical framework is on describing the levels and types of interactions between its main elements. Interactions between and within various positions of Key players, and contextual factors, all together, accomplish IET analytical framework. The five positions of key players are 1. Supply-side, 2. Facilitating, 3. Demand-side, 4. Policy-making, and 5. Supportive institutions. The four types of interactions between and within players are 1. Information flow, 2. Nurture flow, 3. Financial flow, and 4. Innovation flow. The interactions among key players by taking advantages of specific pertinent context lead to degrees of SDGs achievements through defining suitable ICT-based transformation solutions.
