Governing Committee

Separating governance and management is expected to promote accountability of e-GTC. It also provides a mechanism for good organizational governance that focuses on stakeholder participation.

e-Government capacity building is at the crossroads of human resource development and e-Government deployment in the public service sector. In other words, e-Government capacity building is a cross-cutting issue between Government MDAs, responsible for human resource development of their respective staff, and FMC&DE, responsible for e-Government development. Thus, measures to facilitate close cooperation and collaboration between the two parties is essential for designing overall organization structure of the Centre.
