To advance the President's Management Agenda and comply with guidance from OMB, the Department of Agriculture's Deputy Secretary charged the Office of the Chief Information Officer with creating an eGovernment Program and facilitating a structured, Department-wide strategic planning process for eGovernment. In response, the USDA has developed an eGovernment Strategic Plan, establishing a comprehensive vision and direction for Departmental eGovernment efforts.
This Plan was crafted by an eGovernment Executive Council and Working Group-comprised respectively of champions and sponsors designated within each mission area and agency / staff office. The unifying force for this Strategic Plan was a relentless focus on our customers-the citizens we serve and how we as employees working with our business partners might serve them better.
24 eGovernment opportunities have been identified, prioritized and approved. Each of these opportunities is described in the eGovernment Strategic Plan which can be accessed from the link below. Please contact the USDA eGovernment mailbox, egov@usda.gov, should you have ideas, comments, or questions regarding the Strategic Plan, or if you would like to get involved.
