Two Taiwanese ICT experts visited St. Vincent and Grenadines from July 26 to August 23, 2018, to complete the installation, testing and training of the Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) of the Government of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
In 2016, the governments of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines signed an agreement to launch the project of EDRMS.
It aims to develop mechanisms and IT infrastructure to improve the efficiency of processing information among different ministries of the Government of SVG.
Mr. David Fu, the Project Manager of the EDRMS dispatched by the Taiwan ICDF, said that after two-year of efforts, with the full support of the Information Technology Services Division of the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning, Sustainable Development and Information Technology, the electronic document (e-document) system and e-archiving system within seven different ministries of St. Vincent and the Grenadines have been initially installed.
Mr. Fu added that the visit of the two experts is part of the EDRMS project. They not only assisted in setting up and testing the systems, but also provided the 69-hour training courses to more than 400 governmental officials who will be the users of the EDRMS later this year.
Mr. Fu said the EDRMS is scheduled to be completed and handed over to the Government of SVG at the end of 2018.
