e-Governance

In recent years, Tanzania has declared its commitment to embrace ICT within its public sector. Indeed, the government has made extensive efforts to keep its promise of going towards e-governance, as recent evidence shows (for instance in the National vision 2025, where ICT has been cited as a key driver of national socio-economic development); there has been a pronounced increase in investments in ICT in the public sector in particular within ministries, departments and agencies. There is a need to strengthen ICT capacity at management level of the Tanzanian public administration. A concerted effort to raise the awareness of the targeted managers would increase the yield of other investments already made in e-governance, and facilitate communication between ICT professionals and business managers.
