Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) recently introduced an e-filing system in two of its directorates as a pilot project to expedite internal workings of the authority, a news source reported. The authority aims to extend the system to all directorates in a phase-wise manner.
CDA operationalised the e-filing system within the Human Resource Development (HRD) and Administration directorates. CDA Chairman Amer Ali Ahmed had previously issues directives for the introduction of the said system within the authority.
CDA’s Information Technology (IT) Directorate operationalised the e-filing system in the two directorates in two weeks’ time. The authority has also tasked the IT Directorate with integrating the rest of the directorates with the new system.
In addition to providing the required equipment, the IT Directorate also trained the HRD and Administration staff prior to commencing with the e-filing system’s pilot project.
With the new system, CDA expects to accelerate its internal workings, along with making these foolproof and cost-effective. The authority also expects to overcome the problems arising due to the paper-based filing system.
