CIOFF, CIOF, and CIDA-E3 Sign Tripartite MOU on E-Governance

The Chief Information Officers Forum, CIOF Foundation, and the CIDA E3 e-Governance for Efficiency and Effectiveness Project signed last Oct. 24, 2008, a tripartite agreement to work together in strengthening government capacity and promoting strategic uses of ICT in the country.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the three parties will work towards achieving common goals of the two organizations. Under the MOU, the three parties will identify common activities of the CIOFF, CIOF and E3 that will be undertaken to ensure efficient and effective implementation of ICT plans and programs with government.

Signing for the CIOFF was Daniel F. Pabellon, chairman of the CIOFF, for the CIOF, BIR Dep. Commisioner Lilia Guillermo, and for the CIDA E3 Project, Ms Nide Bombay, E3 country director.

The three expressed the view that under this collaboration, the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) will be better supported in promoting information sharing, integration, coordination and mobilization of ICT activities to achieve mission critical government operations.
