On 13-17 May, APCICT and the Union Civil Service Board (UCSB) of Myanmar will jointly organize the National workshop on e-Government and Information Security & Privacy at the Central Institute of Civil Service in Upper Myanmar.
Attended by over 50 officials from various ministries, regional and state government, and the national parliament, the workshop will present Module 3: e-Government Applications and Module 6: Information Security and Privacy of APCICT’s flagship programme, the “Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders (Academy).”
Training on Academy Module 3 will be delivered by Dr. Nag Yeon Lee and Dr. Kwangsok Oh, co-authors of the module. Module 3 provides the participants with key elements and concepts, principles and types of e-government applications. It also discusses how an e-government system is built by providing detailed analysis of exemplar systems and identifying design considerations.
Training on Academy Module 6 will be delivered by Mr. Freddy Tan, co-author of the module, and Mr. Yun Jae Suk of the Korean Internet Security Agency. Module 6 provides an overview of the need for information security, information security issues and trends, and the process of formulating an information security strategy.
APCICT and UCSB have a history of collaboration dating back to 2010, when the Academy was rolled-out in Myanmar to help strengthen the country's human resources by enhancing awareness among government officials on the effective use of ICTD. The following year in 2011, a second workshop was organized in Myanmar on the more advanced “technical cluster” of the Academy programme, focusing on ICT trends, information security and project management.
