Addressing the seminar, Chief Advisor's Special Assistant Dr Tamim emphasized computer-based skill development of government officials, saying that e-Governance could ease and accelerate the country's development process.

ICT has been in use in Bangladesh since the 1960s, and increased with the formation of the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) in 1986. The 1997 recommendations on ICT development and the 2002 ICT policy were formulated. More recently, an e-government cell was created in the chief advisor's unit, and completed an e-government horizon scan last December.

The inescapable conclusion is that the relative lack of progress cannot be explained by a lack of focus or political priority. Instead, I believe the explanation lies in the fact that government strategies in this area have had less impact because of weaknesses in the way they were delivered.

The caretaker government has implemented many landmark governance reforms, but unfortunately one major reform that has remained untouched is of the sluggish and complex bureaucratic structure of the government, said Hua Du, country director of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
