Use of computers in the Central American public sector

Abstract

THIS PAPER AIMS TO ILLUSTRATE THE USE OF COMPUTERS IN CENTRAL AMERICAN PUBLIC SECTOR INSTITUTIONS. IT WAS PREPARED BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. WE MAKE THE CAVEAT THAT IT IS INCOMPLETE, SINCE IT DOES NOT INCLUDE INFORMATION ON EL SALVADOR AND NICARAGUA, AND THE INFORMATION THAT APPEARS FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRIES MAY BE INSUFFICIENT FOR SOME PURPOSES, BUT IT DOES GIVE AN IDEA OF THE TYPE OF USE OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
