E-Government as Enabler for Government
Transformation
We recognize the power of communications technologies,
including connection technologies and innovative applications, to
promote knowledge exchange, technical cooperation and
capacity-building
for
sustainable
development.
These
technologies and applications can build capacity and enable the
sharing of experiences and knowledge in the different areas of
sustainable development in an open and transparent manner.

2014 Findings: Key Highlights for E-Government
1. E-Government development can contribute towards the post-2015
development agenda: strengthening national capabilities, regional and
national networks and stronger voice of citizens in global, regional and
local negotiations and policy making.
2. ICTs are effective platforms to facilitate knowledge sharing, skills
development and capacity-building for sustainable development.
3. Effective regional cooperation will help support change programs and
advance e-government development. (Examples: European Union,
African Union’s Programme for Infrastructure Development,..)

Part 2 - 12
2014 Findings: Key Highlights for E-Government (2)
4. Addressing e-government challenges is often dependent on the
national capacity for change and innovation.
5. Governments across the globe need to undertake a process of
transformative change. E-Government should be seen as a holistic
process to transform government.
6. The transformative changes entail not only the design and
implementation of innovative practices, but more fundamentally a
transformation of government’s role, functions, institutional
frameworks and processes.

Part 2 - 13
2014 Findings: Some considerations for this FORUM
Governments need to undertake a process of transformative change for
the future that requires to:
 Become catalysts for change instead of mere service providers;
 Become facilitators in promoting networked co-responsibility among all
stakeholders by engaging and empowering communities to take part in
the solution of their own problems;
 Allow for a competitive rather than monopolistic approach to provision
of public goods and services;
 Become entrepreneurial in generating revenues and promoting
partnerships;
 Results-oriented and customer-driven;
 Pro-active instead of reactive, i.e. anticipating problems and acting
preventively;
 Make full use of opportunities afforded by ICTs and e-government
especially from Open Data, Big Data, Social Media and Mobile
 Learn and enhance capacity building through increased knowledge
sharing

of e-government development.
• Africa faces the greatest challenge, the less steep slope shows
the slowest progression and underlines its lagging position.
