PHILIPPINE
GOVERNMENT ON-LINE! This
is not just a buzzword. It is
both the vision and strategy adopted by the government in reforming
governance today through the application of information and communications
technology (ICT). And the Government
Information Systems Plan (GISP) is the framework and master
plan to make this happen. Consistent with
the country’s development objectives as contained in the Medium-Term
Philippine Development Plan, or “Angat Pinoy 2004”, the GISP
envisions an electronic bureaucracy widely and readily accessible to its
constituency - the Filipino people.
It is a master plan that
sets the enabling
policy and institutional infrastructure and environment,
as well as the direction, priorities, and benchmarks for computerization
of key government operations and activities over the next
five to ten years. It is a plan to fully harness the potentials of ICT for
good governance and promote transparency and accountability in government
operations and transactions. The GISP was
formulated in consultation with various stakeholders -- government
agencies, the private sector, civil society, media, the academe, and other
critical players in governance and the information and communications
technology community. The National
Information Technology Council, or NITC, would therefore like to
acknowledge and express its sincerest thanks to all those who have
contributed their time and energy to ensure the completion of this Plan.
Without their valuable inputs, support and encouragement, the completion
of this Plan would not have been possible. We hope that this will
translate into concrete results for the realization of the GISP’s goals
and objectives. At the same
time, we enjoin all those in government and the private sector to work
together in ensuring the realization of PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT ONLINE!
