Building on the foundation established by the e-Macao Project, the aim of the e-Macao Program is to raise the maturity of Electronic Government in Macao through a well-planned framework of initiatives to further improve the application of Information Technology by Macao Government and its agencies. The program will particularly focus on cross-agency, government-wide initiatives spanning technical, managerial, organizational and human aspects of technology use in the public sector.
As the main driver behind the e-Macao Project, the role of UNU-IIST is to support the e-Macao Program by providing technical leadership and advice through the Program Technical Committee to various projects which are part of the program. UNU-IIST will also propose initiatives which directly utilize the results of the e-Macao Project, and which are applicable across the government.
To contribute to these objectives, UNU-IIST will carry out four projects in 2007:
1. Strategic IT Planning for Macao Government
2. Software Infrastructure for e-Government in Macao
3. Standards for e-Government in Macao, and
4. Macao e-Government events.

• Support the implementation of the Macao e-Government Development Program 2005-2009 by executing projects to implement the postulated policies.
• Raise the level of collaboration among government agencies in Macao on the development and application of technology in the joint delivery of services.
• Facilitate the adoption of uniform, government-wide standards to guide the planning, development, application and management of technology in Macao Government. Showcase the application of standards through concrete projects.
• Implement concrete projects to raise the level of technology use among Macao Agencies and the quality of services delivered to citizens and businesses, with particular focus on cross-agency, infrastructure-building initiatives.
• Build human capacity in Macao Government Agencies through provision of training, mentoring and development of skills to meet project requirements.
• Maintain and expand a continued learning environment on technology use in Macao Government through seminars, workshops and conferences. Establish a Community of Practice on Electronic Government in Macao.
• Promote Macao as one of regional leaders in research and practice on Electronic Government and technology in government in general.
• Build upon the foundation established by the e-Macao Project by utilizing its results - deliverables, outcomes and impact, created by the Project.

All four e-Macao projects executed by the Center are executed as planned.

All four projects are funded by Macao Government through the Public Administration and Civil Services Bureau (SAFP).

All four projects collaborate with:

• One or more of the other cooperation parties of the e-Macao Program, which are the University of Macau, the Institute of System and Computer Engineering - Macau, Macau University of Science and Technology, and Macau Polytechnic Institute.
• Selected Macao Government agencies.
