Management and staffing (HVMS) IRM Charges CDC Ethiopia

The CDC Information Technology Services Office (ITSO) has established a support cost of $3200 dollars

per workstation and laptop at each location for Fiscal Year 2008 to cover the cost of Information Technology

Infrastructure Services and Support provided by ITSO. This includes the funding to provide base level of

connectivity for the primary CDC office located in each country and connecting them into the CDC Global

network, to keep the IT equipment located at these offices refreshed or updated on a regular cycle, to fund

for expanding the ITSO Global Activities Team in Atlanta and to fully implement the ITSO Regional

Technology Services Executives in the field. This is a structured cost model that represents what is

considered as the "cost of doing business" for each location.
