Description

To improve coordination and cooperation among Government information systems, the Government decided to establish a national IT unit, headed by a Government CIO. The unit will have extensive horizontal authority, including developing the Government’s IT strategy, developing extensive governmental IT projects, defining unified architecture and standards for the government’s IT unit and promoting development of databases and professional expertise within government agencies. The Government CIO will also be responsible for the e-Government unit, that promotes digitalized governmental services for the public and develops a horizontal technological infrastructure for administrative services. The Israel Government approved the appointment of a Government CIO in Government Decision No. 4375 on March 11, 2012. The Government CIO was appointed recently.
