An Information System Model for e-Government of Digital Bangladesh

Digital Bangladesh is a proposal which involves the use of ICT for management, administration and governance to ensure transparency, accountability and answerability at all stages of people and state. Without the development of ICT sector, the dream of a Digital Bangladesh would be only a nightmare for the inhabitants. ICT is also a combination of physical structure and brain. Computers, Network equipments, Software, Wire and Wireless Connectivity Systems, Broadcast Hardware and many other Hardware and Accessories are the physical structure. The qualified persons behind the structure act as the brain. To materialize the idea of digital Bangladesh, development of countrywide structure and a large number of qualified human resources are the necessary. In this paper, we have proposed an effective Information System Model for implementing electronic governance (e-governance) and e-services in Bangladesh which is in a vision of developing into ‘Digital Bangladesh’. We have also analyzed the vision of Digital Bangladesh and the need of egovernance for achieving that vision. Our Information system model guides the development of the new e-government architecture and handling the challenges of developing egovernance in Bangladesh emphasizing on the usage of available resources and facilitating e-services in various sectors of government. In addition, we offer precise recommendations for developing e-governance in the most feasible, cost-effective, and efficient manner.
