A Correspondence Management System is to implemented for 102 public sector organisations in Ghana, in a bid to improve transparency of governance.
The National Information Technology Agency (NITA) is overseeing the installations at the selected ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) and metropolitan, municipal districts assemblies (MMDAs).
The system should allow the relevant MDAs to capture, record and monitor all correspondence from external sources, reported the Ghana News Agency.
William Tevie, director-general of NITA, said: “NITA’s open government data initiative affords citizens the opportunity to see what government is doing and send feedback to government.”
The data will also be safely stored and backed up at a data centre.
The move is part of phase two of Ghana’s e-goovernment project, costing around US$126 million and sponsored by the China EXIM Bank through Huawei.
Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, minister of communications, said: “It will also ensure expansion and upgrade of government data centres, network infrastructures and application software deployment and service.”
