Future plans: Implementing all the Recommendations given by the
assessment report In the long run integrating the EMIS systems.
Data dissemination using a proper mechanism Using mobile
application as input and output tools for M&E, verification,
validation in the long run Connectivity of Provincial EMIS servers
with central server using reliable ICT infrastructure 11
Slide 12
Future plans: 652 maps preparation for 326 districts of 25
remaining provinces GPS data collection of all the schools of
Afghanistan EMIS online mapping system Verification of all schools
GPS data on maps Based on requirements, producing different maps

Slide 13
Lack of proper understanding of Business Process Mapping and
domain expertise of the manual systems Implementation of developed
information systems is complex using current capacity of civil
servants Lack of end-user interest in using of developed systems
Lack of Public Awareness Lack of accuracy in the geographic data
provided by different sources in Afghanistan Literacy rate is low
in our country which causes less participation of community in
information systems especially in mobile application and SMS
solution Challenges: Using Pirated Versions of software for
development, especially database management system.
Slide 14
Lack of security Development of ISDS-MIS is a challenge because
of lack of end-user capacity And lack of domain expertise Lack of
IT industry In Afghanistan No specific fund for having legitimate
software's Challenges: Change in Requirements From end-users Lack
of Information system Hardware & Software resources in
provincial EMIS units.

Note: Despite these challenges, EMIS department has always been
committed to find possible alternatives which led us towards some
great achievements Thank you
