eGA supports e-governance development in Tajikistan

Ivar Tallo and Nele Leosk from eGA together with Peeter Marvet visited Tajikistan on 20-28 May 2010 in order to analyse the current situation in using ICTs in both local municipalities and central institutions in Tajikistan. During one week, four regions and towns were visited (Rudaki, Khujand, Kairakum, and Nurek). The afore-mentioned towns have already shown interest in exploiting modern technologies in their municipality and cooperation with them will continue throughout the year - a study visit on e-governance to Estonia in August being the next planned activity.
This cooperation project was initiated to share experiences and know-how on ICT solutions in place and working both in Estonia and other countries to support the development of e-governance in Tajikistan.
The initiative is financed by the Open Estonia Foundation's East-East: partnership beyond borders program, designed to support cross-border exchange of experience and know-how.
