and can also accommodate tailor made presentations by the Customs Administration. The following modules are currently deployed on the platform namely WCO Integrity, WCO Data Model, Data Harmonization, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), TIR, Transfer Pricing, Istanbul Convention, Ozone-Depleting Substances and Rules of Origin. Additionally, SADC has also developed various modules such as SADC Rules of Origin; Tariff Classification etc . The other interesting part of this project is its integration with the nCEN Platform which provides a holistic view of the risk management, enforcement tools and seizures in the Custom Administration. Last but not least, the Online Exam Module in the E-Learning Platform provides quick accessibility to preparing Multi-choice questions for new recruits and the exams are done and corrected fully electronically without any printing and manual corrections, hence promoting paperless environment in the Customs Administration. ICT Requirements The E-Learning Platform can easily be hosted on a physical or virtual server environment. WCO shall provide the ISO Image for the e-learning module developed on Moodle and shall be deployed on a Linux environment. An experienced IT administrator is required to create login credentials for users, to load the materials in the required format and also to monitor access from outside (Officers can learn at home at their own pace). The system must be well secured and located in the Delimiter Zone for secure external access by users. Time Frame The project can be implemented within 3 months depending upon availability of a server for hosting and license approval by WCO and the Customs Administration. The first phase shall be mainly to internal access to allow the users to better understand the system. The second phase which can take another 2 months is providing access to users from external so that they can learn anytime and anywhere. Conclusion 27 Draft SADC Customs ICT Strategy 2012 Page 27
