Notes:
Sources are not hard to find,but you must search with specific keywords (i.e. Master IT Plan,Vietnam ICT Strategies) that relates to ICT. Government published documents are difficult to find, but many great analysis reports by non-governmental agencies are published. There are many reports about the trends and ICT strategy evaluation are available online for access. Most documents found have an English version as well as other languages. It was more difficult to find information pertaining to the current status of ITC plans and progress of reforms made to the Master IT Plan.
