An approximate $950 million has been allocated by the government for the e-Government initiative under the 8th National Development Plan for ministries and government departments.
As of March 2005, about 199 e-Government projects have been approved for implementation by the e-Government Executive Committee, which has taken up about 80 per cent of the total allocation, amounting to an estimated $742 million. The e-Government initiatives have opened up hundreds of employment opportunities for locals who are skilled in the ICT field.
According to UNPAN, Brunei Darussalam is ranked 68th this year, moving 19 places upward when compared to 2008 among the 192 countries worldwide.
