This good news was bared by Teresita Escobar, admin and finance coordinator of the Eastern Visayas Information Sharing Network (EVISNET) in her powerpoint presentation during a meeting with IT coordinators of RDC members without regional websites held recently at the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) regional office.
The primary models of e-Government, Escobar said, includes Government-to-Citizen or Government-to-Customer (G2C); Government-to-Business (G2B); and Government-to-Government (G2G) where the most anticipated benefits include improved efficiency, convenience and better accessibility of public services.
In the first of the five stages of website development from the United Nations-American Society for Public Administration (UN-ASPA), which is the Emerging Web Presence, the site serve as source of public information, information on the government, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and contact numbers, Escobar said.
On the other hand, Escobar emphasized that Eastern Visayas Online will provide various public information and services through the internet, enable the government/public to use the internet widely in all public affairs, and provide faster and efficient government transactions where anyone anywhere can go online anytime, not only to get the information they need but also to actually receive services, complete transactions, and communicate with government agencies.
Escobar further said that the purpose of having an EV Online portal is to develop and host the websites of RDC members without websites, to update and improve those currently with websites, and continuously provide updated, relevant and useful information.
RDC is the primary institution in the region which sets the direction of economic and social development of the region and through which regional development efforts are coordinated. It’s members is composed of regional line agencies, local government units, private sectors, and non-voting members.
