Workshop focuses on blockchain use in e-governance initiatives

The use of blockchain technology applications in e-governance received a boost at a workshop kicked off in Phnom Penh yesterday.

The workshop is organised by the Tokyo-based Asian Productivity Organization (APO) along with the National Productivity Centre (NPCC) of the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) from August 5 to 9, said an official release.

The opening session, presided over by Phork Sovanrith, MISTI’s Secretary of State and APO Director for Cambodia, brought together productivity representatives from various countries including Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.

“Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative force in various sectors, including e-government initiatives in Cambodia. Its application can significantly enhance transparency, efficiency, and security in governmental processes,” said Sovanrith.

Blockchains is an emerging, disruptive technology that has the potential to transform ICT services. In blockchains, transactions are approved and validated with the consensus of a majority of stakeholders.

Throughout the programme, productivity representatives from the region will explore the practical applications of blockchain-driven solutions in e-governance systems.

The objective is to help participants grasp the importance of blockchain architecture in advancing e-government initiatives and improving service delivery by public sector organizations, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of e-government programmes through the integration of blockchain technology.

APO promotes productivity in the Asia-Pacific region through collaborative activities, capacity building, and knowledge sharing to enhance economic growth and development, the release noted.

Blockchain technology has been adopted by many governments in efforts to strengthen e-government programs. Offering a course on blockchain-driven solutions in e-governance demonstrates a commitment to capacity building among public-sector professionals.

It equips a government with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of integrating blockchains into existing systems. These technologies can strengthen e-government programmes, promote public administration transformation, and provide transparent and secure public services.

Blockchains, augmented virtual reality, and AI are expected to improve digital public services in the future.
