Myanmar has spent over US$16 million on its e-government masterplan in the last four years, the ICT Ministry has announced.
Since the 2011-12 financial year, 65 regional and state governments have been implementing e-government projects, said Thaung Tin, Deputy Minister, ICT Ministry.
The government is developing applications which can be shared by all ministries, building infrastructure and writing a roadmap to support the uptake, he added. Each ministry is working on its own plans for delivering online services.
Thaung Tin hopes that the projects will be completed by March next year.
The World Bank approved a further $5.4m of funding to implement e-government projects in Myanmar in January, including a single portal for citizens and businesses to access government information and services.
This money is to be spent over a four year period.The government has also recently formed two units to promote transparency, acting on its plan to join the Open Government Partnership by 2016.
