Resumen
Descripción
This paper begins with the premise that
it is not possible to implement an efficient, modern RAP
strategy today without the effective use of information
technology. The paper then leads the architect through the
functionality of the systems components and environment
needed to support RAP, pausing to justify them at each step.
The paper can be used as a long-term guide through the
systems development process as it is not necessary (and
likely not possible) to implement all functions at once. The
paper's intended audience is those members of a
planning and strategy body, working in conjunction with
technical experts, who are charged with designing and
implementing a RAP strategy in a developing country.
