| Summary: | E-government is about changing how
governments work, share information, and deliver services to
external and internal clients. It harnesses information and
communications technology to transform relationships with
citizens and businesses, and between arms of government.
Benefits can include reduced corruption, increased
transparency, greater convenience, higher revenues, and
lower costs. But case studies show that these benefits do
not result solely from the use of information and
communications technology. Instead, e-government initiatives
should be part of broader reforms to improve public sector performance. |
