The objective of the capacity building programme will be to equip the public sector with the skills and competencies needed to manage and administer forthcoming e-government projects, including IT infrastructure (Lanka Government Network, or LGN) and services such as e-Foreign Employment, e-Pensions and e-Divisional Secretariat.
To structure the capacity building programme, ICTA has developed an ‘ICT Skills Framework’, identifying the specific skills needed at different staff levels and categories, namely, senior managers, CIOs, project managers, IT managers and general staff.
The framework was developed after several months of consultation with experts from the public and private sectors and from key partners such as the World Bank. The framework is made up of individual course modules which will allow ICTA the flexibility to mix and match modules according to the specific competencies required by staff.
