On the other hand, the very ambitious e-Sri Lanka project has a major component in the area of Re-engineering government, a necessary re-requisite for successful implementation of e-Governance. e-Governance is not just an ICT enabled, efficient and effective public service with<\/p>\r\n

enhanced revenue generation for the Government but also a way of providing better citizen services through the use of ICT.<\/p>\r\n
