Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - good governance
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
Where then havë e-Government benefits already been felt by the public? The sharing of information between services, and making it available to front-line staff in call centres and one stop shops makes one think that, to date, the main benefits felt by the public have been indirect, rather than direct.
The future for e-Government will be affected by the way that the supply market changes. To date, some IT suppliers have responded more effectively than others to the way in which the local e-Government market has developed.
e-Government is going to be a prime enabler for transformation of the way that central and local Government interact and communicate with Citizens.
Unlike most governmental programs, e-Government in the U.S. was broad based. The passion of e-Government practitioners It came about with the development of the Blueprint for e-Government PDF in 2000 and was faciliatated by the Council for Excellence in Government . Hundreds of individuals and organizations from the private sector, federal, state and local governments, NGOs, academia, and researchers collaborated to produce the blueprint.
e-Government is not only or even primarily about reforming the work processes within and among governmental institutions, but is rather about improving its services to and collaboration with citizens, the business and professional community, and nonprofit and nongovernmental organisations such as associations, trade unions, political parties, churches, and public interest groups.
Viewing e-Government projects as mainly an investment in public infrastructure is too restricted, since the investment is also aimed at reducing the size and costs of Government while accelerating the growth of the e-Government market, helping to create new businesses and jobs in the private sector.
By marking out e-Government as an activity distinct from health, education or quality of life, we promote the idea that implementing e-Government is an end in itself.
A strong, efficient e-Government process is practically the definition of resourcefulness. Put these governance practices to work to maximize the value of your projects and processes.
The most prominent obstacle to e-Government is digital illiteracy, followed by a lack of well-developed procedures for cooperation between the public and private sector. In addition, shortage of funds or lack of public funds for new projects posed significant obstacles to e-Government implementation.
e-Government impacts the way we interact with Government agencies at all levels, whether that interaction takes place through telephone, fax, e-mail, a Web site, or directly into a data base.
e-Government opens up many possibilities for innovating and improving Government services. Many governments are working toward providing citizens with access to information and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week from the convenience of their home or office PC.
It is important that Government have a good understanding of the level of Return-on-Investment to date on e-Government initiatives, as well as a method for determining an appropriate Return-on-Investment in the future.
One reason why e-Government will continue to fair well is because many advocates and practitioners have learned that implementing it doesn’t depend totally on dollars.
Opportunities for citizens to communicate with their governments are growing. A recent e-Government study found continued improvement in the number of state and federal sites that provide e-mail addresses to allow direct communication with Government departments and individuals; more opportunities for site visitors to post comments; and a doubling in the percentage of sites that allow citizens to register for e-mailed updates on specific issues.
The vision for e-Government is that you will be able to find public information and services within your Government departments quickly and easily over the Internet.
