The government of His Majesty is conducting manpower planning exercise to ensure an adequate supply of ICT-trained manpower to develop and maintain the e-Government initiatives. There is insufficient IT human resource capability to support successful delivery of the programme. For example, there are less than 300 IT staff working with the government while another 500 IT positions have yet to be filled. The in-country talent pipeline for IT professionals is insufficient to meet the forecast demand for the next five years.

His Royal Highness Prince Hj Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office, delivered a reminder that the commitment to ensure the effective implementation of government programmes and policies is now more challenging than ever, especially in terms of the higher standards of public services that are expected and demanded by our increasingly sophisticated society.

In his sabda while officiating an international Eastern Regional Organisation for Public Administration (EROPA) seminar yesterday, organised by Public Service Department and EROPA, His Royal Highness said the performance of our public services is now regularly benchmarked against some of the better, if not the best public services in both the regional and international spectrum.

Recognising that compliance with international industry standards is necessary to realise the vision of an e-government in Brunei Darussalam, several government ministries and departments have taken the initiative to establish standardised platforms in handling and processing geospatial data.

Such mainstream IT platforms would also provide more efficient and cost-saving data storage, analysis and retrieval systems.
