| abstract |
Electronic Governance (e-Governance) seeks to transform
public service delivery and citizens' participation or engagement
in government decision processes for both social and economic
benefits.
Achieving effective and efficient e-governance depends largely on
the availability of a strategic plan. An e-governance strategic
plan typically describes the government's own view of electronic
governance and identifies all its key stakeholders. It also
provides the vision, goals, strategies and measurable objectives
for the e-governance agenda as a whole. In addition, a typical
strategic plan also specifies how government readiness for
e-governance
would be established and the basis for prioritizing initiatives.
This module aims to provide a basic understanding of e-governance
strategies and teaches how an effective strategic plan can be
developed through a process.
Specifically, it teaches:
- core elements of an e-governance strategy
- how to design and conduct an e-readiness assessment exercise
- how to develop the vision, goals and objectives for e-governance
- how to develop a portfolio of the required intervention programmes
- how to prioritize intervention programmes
- how to monitor and evaluate progress
Important elements of the strategic plans of some e-governance leaders are also discussed as case studies.
