Vietnam ranks 105 out of 191 nations in accessibility and comprehensiveness of E-government, according to a report by the United Nations.
The result of the UN’s survey was announced by Mr Vu Duc Dam, Vice Minister of Posts and Telematics, at a workshop on E-government in Vietnam dubbed “Bridge linking Government, Enterprises and People” held on December 13.
According to Mr Tran Minh Tien, President of the Institute of Post, Telecommunications and Information Technology, there are only 49 cities and provinces across the country with their own websites and only 80% are frequently updated. The situation is no brighter in the case of ministries: 22 out of 26 ministries and ministerial level agencies have websites, yet only 32% of the available websites offer public services for enterprises and locals.
The reason for the continued delay in building an E-government is due to the continued absence of a master plan and lack of awareness of both authorities and locals.
