The "e-Champions" videoconferencing-based learning program complements and reinforces Sri Lank's Information and Communication Technology Agency's (ICTA) e-Leadership Development program for 300 Chief Information Officers (CIOs), which consists of traditional face-to-face workshops, and the broader HR Capacity Building Programme for Government for 12,000 government employees.
This VC-based program also provides an impetus to the implementation of the Re-engineering Government Program under the e-Sri Lanka project by channeling latest ideas, good practices and lessons learned from other countries.
