eGov Programmes

Objectives A variety of initiatives to establish a networked government infrastructure in Singapore.

A Technology Experimentation Programme (TEP) ensures that the Government remains innovative in the use of infocomm technologies to achieve new levels of excellence and improved delivery of public services. Likewise, a Knowledge Management Experimentation Programme (KMEP) looks into nurturing good KM ideas in the public sector. Seven KM experimentations have been initiated and, when completed, will see knowledge bases and intellectual assets created for the legal service, scholarship administration, research administration and education service.

Good decision-making hinges on having the right information at the right place. The Broadband Infrastructure for Government (BIG) gives government agencies flexibility in the choice of broadband and mobile roaming mediums. It leverages public telecommunication networks for access to government resources. The Government Access Infrastructure (GATE) provides secure access to the government network via a wide range of channels. These include dedicated dial-up, ADSL, cable modem and other subscription services provided by Internet Service Providers.
