Dialogic evaluated the programs Netherlands Gaat Digitaal (NGD) and Concurreren met ICT-Competenties (CIC) -outreach for the period 2001 to 2005. The purpose of these programs is to promote awareness and application of ICT/e-business in SMEs. Activities within the programs focus on advising and supporting entrepreneurs and industry associations, including through handbooks, websites, workshops, seminars, and consultations.
The research includes the following components: web survey among users of the programs and industry associations; interviews with policy makers and implementing agencies (Syntens, Media Plaza, SenterNovem) and desk research (on the available data and progress reports regarding the organization, design, and monitoring of the programs). The evaluation aims to provide insight into the extent to which the programs impact the use of ICT/e-business by SMEs. The findings will be used for any adjustments to the relevant ICT/e-business policy. The Evaluation Nederland gaat Digitaal en CIC outreach/NBDI can be found on this site.
