E-governance

UN e-government survey 2008

This year's e-Government Survey 2008: From e-Government to Connected Governance presents an assessment of the new role of the government in enhancing public service delivery, while improving the efficiency and productivity of government processes and systems.

It comprises of two parts: Part I presents the findings of the United Nations e-Government Survey 2008 while the 'how to' approach connected governance is the focus of Part II of this year's Survey.

The results of the Survey indicate that governments are moving forward in e-government development around the world. However progress is slow, given the high demands placed by e-government which include prerequisites such as infrastructure, appropriate policies, capacity development and ICT applications that need to be in place to fully implement e-government services. Only a few governments have made the necessary investment to move from e-government applications to a more integrated connected governance stage.
