Abstract
Information and Communication Technology as well as its use, have become a crucial strategic instrument on resource management and decision making. Therefore, it has called various individual attentions, especially in research and management. The study current study attempts to examine efforts deployed on ICT by stakeholders towards rural resource management. The discussion is mainly involved on major outcome of ICT strategies to improve the rural life. For instance the government efforts through ICT policy implementation, strategies, level of infrastructure developed and their impact on rural resource management. The finding shows that despite the critical measures taken against ICT infrastructures and human resource development. But, the government including the rural stakeholders is still facing challenges on full utilization of ICT in resources management. Hence, in order to improve ICT infrastructures and enjoy the proper use of ICT services on resources management. It needs multidimensional approach towards ICT functions and user involvement to arrest the poor practices and failures on the technology. Therefore, the study recommended the use of education and training to achieve sustainability of ICT performance. This is to maintain the quality information supply chain in order to reduce management costs/risks related to failure on data/ information access.
