Vinh Phuc takes measures to build e-government

Vinh Phuc (VNA) – The northern province of Vinh Phuc has showed active performance in applying information and communication technology in building e-government with fruitful results.

Nguyen Kien Trung, head of the IT Office under the provincial Department of Information and Communications, said that the province has now completed the installation of the Local Government Service Platform (LGSP) at the IT infrastructure centre.

According to Trung, in order to synchronise the applications and database serving the provincial e-government, over the years, Vinh Phuc has focused on investing in building ICT infrastructure system.

Currently, 100 percent of State agencies and the People’s Committees of districts andVinh Yen city across the province have been connected with specialized data network and accessed to the Internet.

E-Cabinet applications have been expanded comprehensively in the provincial IT infrastructure centre. Training has been given to 40 departments, agencies, sectors and People’s Committees at district level and 137 communes, wards and towns. The software has been officially launched from early this month.

With the speeding up of administrative reform, over the years, the provincial Administrative Centre has promoted its efficiency, contributing to enhancing the transparency in its operation, creating favourable conditions for people and enterprises in processing administrative procedure.

Despite initial positive outcomes, the implementation of e-government has exposed shortcomings, while many IT applications have been small in scale and incomprehensive.

To complete the construction of the e-government as scheduled, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Tri has asked leaders of departments, sectors and localities to enhance their responsibility in e-government building, effectively exploiting IT applications, while ensuring the connection among agencies in line with the set progress speed of each ministry, sectors and agencies.

Vinh Phuc has proposed the Government, ministries and sectors to soon complete mechanisms and create legal foundation for the launching of e-government, ensuring the efficiency of e-government applications, and focusing more on launching public services at Levels 3 and 4, he said./.
