| Summary: | The last few years have seen
considerable research and applications in the areas of
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and electronic-government
(e-government). Rather than attempting to redefine these
areas, or considering them as two distinct paradigms, the
authoring of this Knowledge Map (KM) and its accompanying
Handbook is an effort to bring a certain degree of
convergence, and see whether PPPs are, or can be, effective
instruments for e-government initiatives in a country. The
increasing emphasis on e-government is often directly
attributed to the fact that the use and application of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are now
commonly accepted as powerful engines for economic growth.
As governments embrace ICT as a means to accelerate the
development process this also becomes foremost in the
reforms agenda, and in their delivery of services to
citizens, businesses, civil society organizations, and other
government agencies. This 'public-private partnerships
in e-government: knowledge map' is designed to be an
introductory guide to PPPs for public officials responsible
for e-government initiatives. It is for those who are
seeking to enhance the quality, efficiency, and
affordability of those initiatives by employing PPPs. |
