E-government set for launch
BAHRAIN's e-Government strategy is to be officially launched tomorrow.
The ceremony will be held under the patronage of Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, who is also the chairman of the Supreme Committee for Information and Communications Technology.
It will start at Bahrain International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) at 9am and feature a number of presentations and an exhibition on the e-government system.
Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Shaikh Ahmed bin Ateyatalla Al Khalifa will be one of the keynote speakers.
Central Informatics Organisation (CIO) IT director Mohammed Al Qaed and representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Industry and Commerce, and Municipalities and Agriculture will make presentations.
The CIO, which is responsible for the e-government strategy, has been working on the project for more than two years. The Bahrain eGovernment Solution Centre was opened at the CIO complex, Isa Town, last year.
CIO, IBM and Gulf Business Machines have worked together to build an e-government infrastructure for Bahrain - making the government the first in the Middle East to introduce such a system. The centre is linked to a network of IBM eGovernment centres world-wide.
