Department of Information Systems and Management
The information and communication technology requirements of the Parliament are managed by the Department of Information Systems Management.
The Department of Information Systems Management was added to the traditional seven departments of the Sri Lankan Parliament in late 2004. The idea of forming such a department originated as a result of the project "Modernizing Parliament for Democracy and Development in Sri Lanka" conducted by the government of Sri Lanka with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank.
