Creating a Knowledge Society in the Sultanate requires a
comprehensive awareness of e.oman and empowers all segments
of the society with ICT skills. Therefore, ITA has launched several
projects and awareness programs to raise the awareness, train,
and qualify all segments of the society as follows:
e.oman Awareness Campaign
This is an integrated ongoing e.oman awareness campaign
consisting of seminars, presentations and other contact programs
conducted across the Sultanate. ITA targets all segments of the
society to enhance awareness of eGovernment Services, to
recognize the importance of IT, to benefit from opportunities in IT,
and to encourage individuals to gain digital literacy skills. Face-toface interaction with the community is possible by participating in
public events such as the Muscat Festival, Khareef Salalah Festival
and Comex.
Community Knowledge Centers (CKC)
These are centers established in the different governorates and
regions of the Sultanate, with computers, digital literacy programs,
Internet service and other training programs. These centers are
responsible for providing different segments of the society with the
required ICT training, with the aim of eliminating digital illiteracy
and empowering all members of the society to communicate and
interact electronically.
National PC Initiative
The National Personal Computer (PC) Initiative aims to build
capacity in the general population by creating a PC bundled offer
- PC plus digital literacy training. The initiative will also contribute
to enhancing the Information & Communication Technology
(ICT) sector by developing locally based experts to deliver
associated services.
