Bhutan e-Government Master Plan
Mobile services
As Bhutan will continue to experience even higher mobile subscription and usage
in the
coming
years,
the
RGoB
should
tap
on
the
potential
that
the
mobile
channel can offer and deliver as many public services as possible via the mobile
channel.
Governance
There
is currently no oversight of ICT usage
and spending
in the Government.
ICT issues are escalated to the Committee of Secretaries (COS) and committees
are formed in an ad hoc manner to guide the implementation of ICT initiatives.
2.3
Addressing the Gaps
Based on information collated during the stock take and analysis of key findings,
the execution of the following mechanisms will address the gaps that have been
identified. These mechanisms are incorporated in the e-Government Masterplan.
a)
Align
and
re-validate
the
existing
list of ICT
strategies
and
initiatives to
desired outcomes and goals for ICT;
b)
Conceptualise impactful Whole-of-Government
initiatives, be it in the areas
of data, infrastructure or application systems;
c)
Explore the use of the mobile
platform for service delivery and support of
dzongkha localisation. Initial implementation can include the use of SMS for
notification and public announcement;
d)
Expand
the
existing
limited
3
G
mobile
infrastructure
so
that
services
delivery over mobile could be more effective
e)
Establish
governance
structures
to
monitor
and
guide
the
successful
implementation of the e-Government Masterplan; and
f)
Collect
quality
Indicators
