China: delivering knowledge transfer on eGovernment best practice

Between 2006 and 2008, the CST team provided a range of capacity building services to the Government of the People’s Republic of China, as part of the EU-China Information Society Project. In particular, our experts provided mentoring and knowledge transfer services to five major national eGovernment demonstrator projects:

• In Yantai – development of an integrated, citizen-focused e-Government service delivery system
   

• In Chengdu – development of an integrated, effective, and speedy public health emergency response and rescue service
   

• In Handan – development of a smart card based social security system providing an integrated platform to handle citizens’ retirement, unemployment, pay, medical insurance and other services
   

• In Yangquan - provision of government services to villagers in rural areas using “data exchange centres” and a “video-management system for e-Government”
   

• In Baotou - putting all administrative approvals required by the municipal government online via the Internet and DiTV.
