The Prime Minister’s Office has successfully organised the first E-Government Leadership Forum (EGLF) meeting for 2010. According to a press release, the forum was chaired by Dato Seri Paduka Awang Eussoff Haji Agaki bin Haji Ismail, the Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Chairman of EGLF.
During the meeting, members comprising permanent secretaries of each government ministry discussed achievements made during 2009 as well as plans for 2010.
One of the major milestones last year was the launching of the 2009-2014 e-Government Strategic Plan. To date, 35 projects have been approved by EGLF since March 2007.
According to the press release, prioritisation of projects for 2010 will be based on a number of characteristics namely ‘multiple-agency’, ‘connectivity’, ‘interactivity and transactional’, as well as ‘providing the highest impact to citizens and government’.
Through this, several flagship projects will be identified. So far, three of the flagship projects that have been identified are Business Licensing System, ePayment and Government Employee Management System (GEMS).
Emphasis has been placed on improving project management structure through the setting up of steering committees to oversee the flagship projects, the statement added.
