The Ministry of Information Technology has completed the first-ever web portal project to enhance efficiency of government organisations. "The primary purpose of the portal is to provide visibility of the services offered by the various divisions of the federal government, and to allow easy access to public information pertaining to all divisions" official sources told Business Recorder on Friday.
As a part of the project, individual division web sites for all the federal divisions have been developed, which contain all the relevant information about these divisions.
"The present phase of this project, which has just been completed has created a portal and web sites that contain only statistics information about the ministries/divisions. Secondly downloadable forms used by citizen for submission to government offices, have also been uploaded", sources added. The requirements for the division web sites have been finalised with active participation from resource persons from all the divisions.
The web sites of the divisions contain commonly required information for the citizens, including how to contact the division, policies, rules and regulations including official gazettes notifications, frequently asked questions, news & press releases, list of official publications, list of all the services provided to the citizen by the division, job opportunities within the division and tenders published by the division.
