Abstract

Tanzania has built a strong regulatory framework for managing public sector records, which should provide the basis for developing electronic records management capacity. At present, there is little capacity in this area and no digital repository in which to store and manage electronic records. More than the other National Archives in the Eastern Africa (EAC) countries, the Records and Archives Management Department (RAMD) has begun to make inputs to ICT and e-Government projects. It has been involved in consultations on government policies and strategies related to ICT and e-Government.
