The theme of the first e-Governance Forum is: “Public Service 2.0: From e-Government to e-Governance,” organized by the Chief Information Officers Forum (CIOF), the CIOF Foundation (CIOFF), the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), and the e-Governance for Efficiency and Effectiveness (E3) Project.
“The CICT is aggressively pushing e-Governance, among other strategic objectives to promote and improve the ICT landscape of the country,” said CICT Chairman Ray Roxas-Chua.
This progress could be assisted by assigning a government CIO to enable government efficiency and accountability, according to CIOF President Esperanza Espino.
Moreover, the success of e-Governance relies on how the public and the private sector could collaborate.
“To successfully implement e-governance in the country, the public sector should recognize the importance of public and private sector partnership, since it allows the government to tap resources that they have no access before,” said CIOFF Chairman Daniel Pabellon.
