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