Sri Lanka launches e-Champions

By Amelia Kwok | 29 August 2007

The program combines a series of knowledge sharing sessions, workshops and international study tours. The sessions placed an emphasis on interactivity and invited overseas as well as local renowned experts to share their knowledge.

Sri Lanka launched an “e-Champions” program designed to equip a core group of 30 CIOs with the knowledge and skills to drive the implementation of an effective e-Government in Sri Lanka.

The program combines a series of knowledge sharing sessions, workshops and international study tours. The sessions placed an emphasis on interactivity and invited overseas as well as local renowned experts to share their knowledge.

“The learning, the exposure and experiences they gain will go a long way towards their abilities to take the e-Sri Lanka vision forward. The need to put a ‘human face’ to all government services is imperative,” COO of Information and Communication Technology Agency Reshan Dewapura said.

More than 100 countries are introducing e-Government programs to modernise and reform public services.
