Vision for the future

organizational silos (for example, sectors). To achieve this vision and objective, NCCG needs to develop several key systems and adopt policies and procedures in various areas of operation (IFMIS, CIP, repair and maintenance plan, advanced budgeting, and so forth).

The asset management positioning summarized in figure B.1 is a possibility in the distant future; it can be achieved by the end of this AMS cycle. During this time, the adopted systems and framework may change substantially to tailor the systems to the emerging reality of the NCC organization and subsystems. Figure B.1 is a schematic interpretation of positioning asset management and does not represent a specific information and communication technology (ICT) realization.

In the short and medium terms, the AMDR will be positioned gradually into the current set of NCC organizations. Figure B.2 summarizes the framework into which the AM will be developed gradually. Establishing adequate AM systems will start with a small, pragmatic framework that can be expanded into a more developed integrated AM framework toward the one depicted in figure B.1.

The initial framework forms the basis of a future reliable AM system in harmony with the NCC’s AM policy. The AMDR was established under the chief financial officer, but NCCG also will establish an asset and liability management committee (ALC) to review and forward for the governor’s or the County Assembly’s approval of AM plans and proposals of strategic importance. The ALC will form from its members a temporary asset transfer subcommittee to represent NCC in discussions and settlement of disputed assets due to be transferred to NCC. AMDR also assigns an asset verification and audit team to lead or commence verification and audit of assets and liabilities and provide analysis and options for AMDR and the asset transfer subcommittee.
