June 26
The introduction of e-governance in Armenia will start from the
government, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan told reporters
after the opening ceremony of the DigiTec Business Forum in Yerevan.
"This ambitious program of e-governance is necessary to eliminate
all the system shortcomings," Sargsyan said.
According to the premier, they have already held meetings with the
representatives of the business community to discuss the concept
of e-governance.
"We are going to publicize this document for the people to be aware
of the nature and succession of the steps necessary to introduce an
e-governance system in Armenia," the premier said.
Hayk Chobanyan, Director of the Nork Information and Analytical Centre,
RA Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, told ARKA that Armenia has
been working consistently on introduction of e-governance system and
formation of an e-society.
During the recent years the new information and analytical centre
has been working hard to introduce information technologies into the
system of public administration focusing on public services. However,
IT may be largely used in the private sector as well, he said.
One of the priority tasks of e-governance is said to be reduction
of corruption risks and bureaucracy, as well as simplification of
government-citizen contacts.
