Through an innovative, inclusive bottom-up approach an initial round of 56 e-services were proposed and some have become very successful, attracting partnerships and proving their sustainability, said the evaluation report submitted to UNDP recently.
The UNDP appointed three consultants- Michael Minges, Ananya Raihan and Ravi Raina to prepare an evaluation report on UNDP supported Access to Information (A2I) Programme in Bangladesh after conducting impact analysis.
The evaluation covers the period of the programme from October 2006 to June 2011 and considers how well the programme accomplished its objectives, outcomes, outputs and goals.
The report said the Union Information Service Centres (UISCs) have been launched in all of the country's unions, Bangladesh's lowest level administrative unit, with a sustainable entrepreneurial driven business model that offers a growing portfolio of e-services to public in rural areas.
The District E-Service Centre is another example of an innovative product that has reduced hassle for citizens in obtaining important documents and certifications and is having an effect on government efficiency and transparency, it said.
The evaluation report prepared is based on meetings with numerous stakeholders in Dhaka and a field visit to A2I supported activities in the Jessore district in August 2011.
