The scale of the program includes investment in IT infrastructure in compliance with the Vietnamese e-Government architecture framework, the ministry-level e-government architecture, and the provincial-level e-government architecture, ensuring safety, security and interconnection between localities and the central-level agencies, as well as with the shared national-level information systems.
Under the target program, all the ministries, ministry-level, centrally run cities and provinces will be connected through a shared integrated platform by 2020; 30% of administrative formalities in localities will be processed online at the level 4; and over 50% of the administrative procedures that need to be exchanged between one-stop shops will be exchanged online.
The program also targets to meet over 50% of the information systems of ministries, sectors and localities which have the demand for connecting and sharing data with national databases; lift Viet Nam out of the list of 20 countries with the highest malware infection rates; ensure all level-4 public services have centralized e-authentication solutions; and support the building of seven centralized IT zones pursuant to the PM’s Decision No. 390/2015/QD-TTg dated March 27, 2015.
