Roadmap to be made for e-government

The government has taken initiatives to prepare a 10-year ICT roadmap under Bangladesh National Enterprise Architecture to operate e-government activities smoothly.

The World Bank financed Leveraging ICT for Growth, Employment and Governance (LICT) project of Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) under ICT Division is implementing it. The LICT project has already appointed the UK based firm 'Ernst and Young' to prepare the 10-year ICT roadmap, said official sources.

Primarily the food procurement system of food directorate and pension giving system of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education are being digitised, the sources added.

State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak said that the 10-year roadmap is being done in such a structured way that other ministries, divisions, departments and directorates could use it as a model.
