TEHRAN – A total of 67 percent of state-run organizations in Iran are currently offering e-services, the information and communication technology minister said.

Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi added that e-government optimizes administrative processes and save time and energy at organizations, Mehr reported on Sunday.
He highlighted the importance of data exchange between organizations, which is the right of nation.

“We proposed that the government allocate one trillion rials (about 240 thousand dollars) to development of e-government next year,” he explained.

The first phase of e-government services project in Iran officially came on stream under the title of ‘Mobile Government’ in mid-May 2018.

The project aims to facilitate some government services, reduce unnecessary expenses and ease traffic jam, which is the main cause of air pollution in big cities.

It is based on the National Information Network, an ongoing project to develop a secure and stable infrastructure network in the country.
