The e-Government Strategy outlines the objectives and processes for the modernization of Government, as a means towards: enhancement of transparency, accountability and good governance; making the Government more result-oriented, efficient and citizen-centred; and enabling citizens and business to access Government Services and Information as efficiently and as effectively as possible through the use of internet and other channels of service delivery and communication.
The effective and efficient realisation of e-Government objectives largely depends on the availability of skills and the right attitudes across Government. The Government personnel at all levels have been and are continuously being adequately equipped through relevant training to effectively carry out this initiative. This has called for a change in the way Government carries out its operations and has enhanced training in change management. In order to ensure a continued pool of IT knowledge within Government, all training programmes now have an ICT component.
An institutional framework and structure has been put in place to oversee and coordinate the implementation of the e-Government Strategy. At the apex is the Cabinet Committee on ICT which oversees the implementation of the Strategy; the Permanent Secretaries ICT Committee coordinates the implementation of the e-Government initiative; and e-Government Committees in the Ministries review the various ICT projects in the Ministries, undertake audit of the IT capacity, establish support to the ministry’s policy mandate, identify gaps and inadequacies both technical and institutional and make appropriate recommendations on the way forward.
