E-Government Services
The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis is expanding with the use of E-Government services! Information and Communication, that is what this is all about.
The Information and Communication Technology Development Coordinator, Christopher Herbert, shared his perspective about the topic on this week’s edition of the SKNIS radio magazine. This news is is provided by my FAV news source - SKNVibes.com
Mr. Herbert stated that the success stories were shared at last week’s E-Government Seminar. The one-day event was hosted by the local Government in collaboration with the ROC. A number of representatives from regional countries including Jamaica, Belize and Barbados also attended.
He said:
They were thoroughly impressed with the presentations, particularly the morning session which highlighted Taiwan’s road from a new IT-based society, to what it is today.
Taiwan, which is widely regarded as the Asian technology hub for state-of-the-art manufacturing and research, has an impressive IT infrastructure and excellent E-Government services.
The beauty of their E-services is that they did not just throw them at the people. They were all based on information which they collected from the population with regards to their needs.
We have a keen eye out there and we see what’s working. We want these services to be to the benefit of the general public, not just the Government.
Mr. Herbert stressed that the St. Kitts and Nevis E-Government development is still information-based, incorporating email and a Government web portal. He indicated that the second half of 2009, may see the expansion into greater service provision. Whenever that time comes he promised that a vigorous public consultation campaign will be conducted in order to accurately assess the needs of the populace in relation to E-services.
