Abstract

ABSTRACT The study examined the role of computers in enhancing effective planning within the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning. It employed a descriptive survey design, using structured questionmaires to gather data from 80 employees, representing various departments in the ministry. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to understand the extent to which computer systems contribute to planning efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making. The findings revealed that computer technology significantly improves planning processes, enhances data management, facilitates communication, and reduces human errors. However, challenges such as inadequate technical support and outdated systems were identified. The integration of computer technology in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning has positively impacted planning activities by improving efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. However, the effectiveness of these systems is hindered by challenges such as insufficient training, lack of regular updates, and inadequate technical support. Addressing these challenges will further optimize the use of computers in organizational planning, enabling better resource allocation and decision-making processes.
