Held under the chairmanship of Dr Mohammad Khalfan Bin Kharbash, Minister of State for Finance and Industry, the meeting reviewed progress reports of ongoing projects and discussed the e-Government policies, standards and processes (PSP) project. "The work that has been completed by our technical partners at Etisalat, represented by eCompany, together with the e-Government project management team from the Ministry of Finance and Industry, has been widely lauded. We call on parties involved in this project to speed up the process to meet the deadlines set for the various phases of this landmark project," Dr Kharbash said.
The 2005 masterplan will focus on core applications to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the federal government. It offers a seamless interface between the government, businesses, and citizens through a number of e-Services available through various channels, such as the internet, mobile phones, public kiosks, call centres and other dedicated service centres across the country.
The plan also takes into consideration specialised training programmes to enable federal employees to meet the challenges of implementing the e-Government project.
The steering committee was also briefed about the progress made on various ongoing e-Government projects. These comprise e-Projects, e-Expat, the Human Resources Management Information System (HRMIS), and the Financial Management Information System (FMIS).
