Currently, the existing ICT law in Myanmar are as follows :
a) Computer Science Development Law (1996)
b) Electronic Transaction Law (2004)(2014)
c) Telecommunication Law (2013)

In these existing laws, despite inclusions of applying computer
technology in the government administrative mechanism, the basic
principle to support the development of e-Government system has not
been included yet.

information technology, standard criteria, proper ICT building design,

structural and procedural reforms will also be needed. Therefore,
