After seeing the ever rising need of a systematic organization of the use of ICTs in UCM the Magno Vice Chancellor and Rector appointed an ICT UCM Committee on 21 May 2008 through his decree number 21.05.08/INF/REIT. The ICT UCM Committee was consisted of Dean of Faculty of Economics and Management as Chairperson, Information and Communication Technology Director as the Secretary, Information Technology Course Coordinator from Pemba Faculty, Information Technology Course Coordinator from Beira IT course and the UIS Manager. In the preliminary phase a work plan and budget to support the elaboration of the ICT Strategic Plan, which was approved on 27th of June 2008. Literature review was carried out which saw the analysis of different strategic plans from universities like Makere of Uganda, National University of Science and Technology of Zimbabwe, Universidade Eduardo Mondlane of Mozambique, UCM general strategic plan, the ICT policy in Mozambique and the document by the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa. The development of the UCM ICT Strategic Plan was inspired by the UCM general strategic plan objectives (See Annex 01) and its statutes which reiterate on the use of modern innovative methodology of study basing on the use of advanced technology. This will go a long way to contribute to the guarding of the reputation so far achieved. After the preliminary phase a situational analysis was carried out where each faculty had an opportunity of discussing their current ICT status and how they want their ICT to be like in three years time. This process was coordinated by faculty ICTs and several reports were produced. The reports were synthesized into one shown in Annex 02. The analysis and synthesis of the individual faculty reports provided an analysis of UCM strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats (SCOT) with respect to information and computing technologies (ICT). A six days workshop was held and resulted in the first draft of the UCM ICT Strategic Plan and way forward. A presentation of the first draft to the Rectorate was done and the first approval in principal was obtained. More consultations will take place and the document will be discussed during the University Council meeting in August 2008.
