According to Monitor, the team from South Korea's National IT Promotion Agency (NIPA) is in Uganda to prepare for the project. The experts have held a meeting with the National Information Technology Authority - Uganda (NITA-U) officials in Kampala, where they shared knowledge on how to implement e-governance.
Hyun Seek Lee, the vice-president of NIPA, said since the 1980s, the Korean government has been using ICT to improve administrative efficiency through e-government. James Saaka, the executive director of NITA-U, said the Ugandan government's ICT infrastructure and systems are isolated from departments, ministries and local governments. Pat Samanya, the ICT ministry permanent secretary, asked the South Korean team to examine Uganda's ICT policies, laws and regulations and how they may impact on e-government, and to make recommendations.
