    Possible Benefits of an eGovernment

    The ultimate goal of the E-Government is to be able to offer an increased portfolio of public services to citizens in an efficient and cost effective manner. E-government allows for government transparency. Government transparency is important because it allows the public to be informed about what the government is working on as well as the policies they are trying to implement. Simple tasks may be easier to perform through electronic government access. Many changes, such as marital status or address changes can be a long process and take a lot of paper work for citizens. E-government allows these tasks to be performed efficiently with more convenience to individuals. E-government is an easy way for the public to be more involved in political campaigns. It could increase voter awareness, which could lead to an increase in citizen participation in elections.

    Singapore E-Government

    Arun Mahizhnan & Narayanan Andiappan Arun Mahizhnan is Deputy Director, Institute of Policy Studies, Singapore and Narayanan Andiappan is Assistant Manger, Infocomm Development Authority, Singapore Government. This paper draws heavily from resource materials provided by IDA. The views expressed are in the authors' personal capacity. ___________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The term "e-Government" is used in this paper to denote the concept of using Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a means to organise and manage the administrative processes of the Government, especially the interactive processes between the Government and the public. Though ICT has been available widely for more than four decades and many governments around the world have indeed used ICT in certain aspects of government, the concept of eGovernment is relatively new in the sense mentioned above. Only a handful of governments have progressed to a high degree in harnessing the immense power of ICT in re-organising their government infrastructure and in serving their citizenry, and have done so in an efficient and effective manner. e-Government is not mere "technologising" of government. It is not just a matter of automating some manual processes nor is it a simple introduction of technology where none existed. e-Government requires a fundamental re-thinking of governance itself and, as some have suggested, a re-inventing of government. If bureaucracy is the invention of the 19th century, we might say e-Government is the invention of the 21st century. e-Government reexamines the organising principles of bureaucracy and governance, re-defines the objectives and deliverables of government and re-deploys the resources available. In this process of reinvention, the basic intent is both refinement of the old and introduction of the new. eGovernment is NOT throwing the baby with the bathwater. Advent of e-Government in…

    A Theoretical Framework for Government Information Service Delivery to Deep Rural Communities

    This paper reports on a study to determine the information requirements of communities in deep rural areas on government services and how this information can be made available to them. The study then proposes an e-government theoretical framework that utilizes deep rural Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) to serve as access points to the government information on services available and needed by this rural community. Initially the study identifies current services provided by the government to the community and measures the levels of satisfaction of the community on the service provision. On the basis of the analysis of community satisfaction levels the gaps in the information needs of the deep rural community are identified. The study also identifies the challenges faced by the community in trying to access these services. A theoretical framework for government information service delivery is then proposed.…
