Telecoms : Algeria’s experience in e-government

Algeria’s experience in e–administration has been presented Monday in Algiers by Minister of Post and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Zohra Derdouri at a regional North Africa workshop on e-government.In her opening address at the three-day workshop, Derdouri said that the e-government project aims at simplifying the administrative procedures.The e-government consists in optimizing the possibilities offered by ICTs to improve public services at all levels for the benefit of citizens through online forms, she explained.The e-administration also allows the strengthening of intersectoral communication and coherence through system interoperability, she added at the workshop, which is organized by the African Development Bank in collaboration with the Ministry of Post and ICT and South Korea’s National Computing and Information Agency.The minister underlined that the improvement of governance is one of the five main lines of the government’s action plan, adopted in 2012 and which is part of the five-year development programme (2010-2014) of President of the Republic Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
