According to the report of the Department of Science and Technology, out of a total of 66 tasks assigned under two decisions, 41 tasks have been completed, while 25 tasks from 11 departments and agencies remain unfinished. The main reasons are that many tasks depend on completing databases and verifying electronic identities; having difficulties in recruiting and training high-quality human resources; research and technology testing tasks require time; and obstacles related to funding and investment procedures for the tasks involving the application of information technology, software development, and information systems.
