Developing e-governance as part of administrative reforms topped the agenda at a national workshop that opened on December 16 in Hanoi.
Organized by the National Steering Board for Information Technology, the Ministry of Information and Communications, and the International Database Group, the two-day workshop aims to refresh the thinking on e-government on which efforts have been under way for some time now.
Participants discussed technical infrastructure and technology for e-government and finance and investment for it.
Many said the country’s telecommunications infrastructure is still inadequate for e-governance.
But to seek more ODA in information technology and telecom, the Government should draw up a roadmap to introduce e-governance to show donor nations, Cao Manh Cuong, deputy head of the Ministry of Planning and Investment’s Department for External Economic Relations, said.
