e-Government in Jordan

Working with the MOICT, the initiative is developing a national communications policy to create an enabling environment for private sector-led ICT growth.

e-Government helps build this enabling environment by bridging the gap between government and the private sector by accelerating administrative reform and automating and streamlining government services. The private sector is more likely to go through proper government channels to accomplish business tasks if it’s convenient and easy. Significant assistance has been given to facilitate an e-government environment and includes the following:
  • Developing an e-government strategic plan.

  • Connecting government entities through a secure network.

  • Establishing the e-Government Operations Center at the National Information and Technology Center that serves as the hub for connecting government entities.

  • Building the base infrastructure, this includes procurements, technical assistance and developing standards and guidelines.

  • Establishing secure e-mail communications to improve the reliability and security of communications.

  • Building the capacity at MOICT to lead e-government efforts by establishing a unit to run e-government, called the Program Management Office. This entity serves as the "go to" entity for guidance on all e-government projects.

  • Developing an e-government portal that will offer information for government, businesses, and citizens.
