Commenced with the Opening Remarks by UNPOG Head, Mr. Jae-hong Lim, the Workshop provided substantive knowledge and practical cases on e-Government along with the opportunities for experts from all around the globe to share their ideas and inspire each other. 

 

Over 120 participants including academia, high-level policy-makers, as well as government officials attended the Workshop.
