  5. GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGEMENT AND INITIATIVE • IT will change every country’s development opportunities • Myanmar Computer Science Development Act was promulgated on September 30th 1996 • Myanmar Computer Development Council, the highest policy making body was duly established in October 1998. • the Myanmar Computer Professional Association (MCPA), the Myanmar Computer Industry Association (MCIA) and the Myanmar Computer Enthusiasts Association (MCEA) were formed successfully • All these computer associations are striving a force in the drive for the ICT development in Myanmar.

  6. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY • A key source for obtaining knowledge • A key element for socio-economic development of a country • The basic input for economic development • National leaders have been giving direction repeatedly for the development of ICT • Become essential for the social and economic progress.

  7. To implement that Agreement and to promote ICT in Myanmar, a national level the e-National Task Force was formed with following six working committees on October 31st 2000 IT Master Plan will focus : Six working committees • e-Legal Infrastructure Committee • Information Infrastructure Committee • IT Education Committee • e-Application Committee • IT Standardization Steering Committee • Liberalization Committee

  8. For the development of IT in Myanmar by year 2010(priority areas for implementation) • IT application • IT Education & Human Resource Development • Foundation for IT industry • ICT Infrastructure • Legal infrastructure • ICT Standardization and Liberalization

  9. Computer applications were developed not only in the private sector but also in the Government sector.
