Secretary of the Public Management Reforms Ministry, P.B. Abeykoon, said a series of 10 workshops on the new policy were being held across the country.
Mr Abeykoon said knowledge of ICT among top Public Servants would “greatly help” improve public services.
He said the one-day workshops, organised by the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA), would be attended by institutional heads and chief innovative officers.
Mr Abeykoon addressed over 100 participants at one of the workshops in the Uva Province, saying it was important that they value and support ICT exposure.
Chief Operating Officer at ICTA, Reshan Dewapura said the workshops aimed to accelerate the implementation of the policy across the country in a uniform manner to help maintain professional standards.
“This prevents unnecessary repetition of labour, waste of time and energy both on the part of the public and Government employees and contributes to serving the people in a more efficient, effective and people-friendly way,” Mr Dewapura said.
Presidential Secretary, Lalith Weeratunga urged all Department Heads to fully implement and familiarise themselves with the e-Government Policy by the end of the year.
