| Summary: | E-mapping covers various layers of data
and indicators useful to achieve the above-mentioned
objectives. The concept is hence both of an analytical and
operational nature, and serves domestic as well as external
purposes. This report focuses on the UNPAN e-government
index, and constitutes the fourth deliverable of the
e-mapping activity offered by the World Bank in the context
of its cooperation activity with the Ministry of
Communications and Information Technology (MOCIT). The text
of the report is divided in four main sections: the
introduction sets up the context and rationale against which
the e-mapping activity has been designed for Saudi Arabia,
and how the UNPAN e-government index fits in it; section two
provides some background and methodological consideration
regarding the importance of e-government efforts in Saudi
Arabia, and the value of tracking such efforts through an
index such as UNPAN's e-government index; section three
offers a direct analysis of Saudi Arabia's past and
current rankings in the UNPAN e-government index, including
the identification of gaps (e.g. for data) and possible
recommendations to improve the country's ranking in the
future; and finally, section four contains a summary of
findings and recommendations for future action. |
