5.3.2 ASO key cost activities6
The Task Force’s remit will vary depending on market conditions and industry and government involvement
during the switch-over process. Consequently, financial resources made available by Government will also
differ. The key cost activities of the ASO need to be identified early in the programme and be benchmarked and
reviewed periodically to ensure that costs are controlled and that the programme delivers value-for-money. This
is an important consideration for all countries and especially for developing economies where there could be
considerable competition for resources. Figure 5-5 shows ASO key cost drivers.
