For the past years, a number of activities are implemented to enhance the use of ICT as a key tool for development. Relevant laws and regulations, policy strategic documents, in particular Concept of ICT Development of Mongolia by Year 2010, E-Mongolia National Program, and E-Government Master Plan of Mongolia were developed. Mission Statement of the e-Government Master Plan states, "e-Government improves the quality of civil service and provides transparent and efficient administration service based on knowledge with an expansion of ICT infrastructure and integration of information system". The goals of the e-Government Master Plan are stated as:
