Singapore's IDA International has recently signed an infocomm agreement with the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), to help develop the country’s infocomm technology (ICT) capabilities and to drive the implementation of its government e-Services in the next two to three years.

The contract will see IDA International working closely with T&T’s National Information and Communication Technology Company Ltd (iGovTT) in several of its national ICT initiatives, which are part of the Republic’s information and communication technology strategy.  These include national ICT planning, creating a Programme Management Office (PMO), and evaluating the current e-services infrastucture.

A team of consultants from IDA International has already been deployed to T&T earlier last month to work on these infocomm initiatives.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with IDA International, and we look forward to jumpstarting some of these key ICT initiatives. Singapore has a lot to offer in terms of its experience in implementing infocomm within the public sector," said Cleveland Thomas, CEO of iGovTT
