The goal of e-Government Master Plan Project is to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of government-to-government (G2G), government-to-citizen (G2C) as well as government-to-business (G2B) processes in Rwanda.
This was revealed during the kick off meeting on the e-Government Master Plan Project this week, where Rwanda and experts from NIPA shared best practices on e-Government.
Rwanda adopted the National Information and Communication Infrastructure Policy (NICI Plan), which in its third phase from 2011-2015 will see the development and use of new services acquired during phases one and two; where e-Government is one of pillars in this phase is also a critical focus area in NICI plan.
The Minister of Youth and ICT, Jean Philbert Nsengimana, speaking to the press after the kick off meeting, stressed that Rwanda had achieved a lot in ICT sector but could also improve service delivery.
“Our aim is to provide facilities to the citizens in Rwanda to access services without travelling vast distances; with the use of ICT in service delivery will be accessible online or via cell phones and will mainly drive the development of our economy,” Minister Nsengimana said.
Ambassador Hwang Soon-Taik of South Korea to Rwanda hailed Rwanda for embracing e-Government; saying: “I see how Rwanda is planning and set goals of how to fully integrate e-Government in all services in the country; this is very important and will be a foundation to achieve more as we did in Korea.”
Meanwhile the Government of Rwanda (GoR) has embarked on an ambitious ICT for Development agenda in line with its Vision 2020 that seeks to transform the country into a middle income economy and information-rich knowledge based economy.
To achieve her vision, The GoR has put in place legal and regulatory framework and has invested in developing and rolling out key Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) such as national fiber backbone, the Kigali Metropolitan network and Wireless Broadband networks that are the most critical enabler of all sectors of the economy.
Through this project, parties will assess the existing e-Government initiatives of the Republic of Rwanda, to identify new opportunities of e-Government initiatives of the Republic of Rwanda.
