Global dialogue on e-Governance strategies on June 19

The World Bank e-development thematic group, GICT and IT SLC in association with USAID are organizing a global dialogue on e-Governance strategies.

A great number of governments have now developed e-Government strategies and are at various stages of implementation. While a significant amount of attention has been given in the past to identifying the key components of e-Government strategies and identifying best practices, little attention has been given to the processes involved in the design of such strategies.

The speakers will focus on the following questions:

• Why is it important to have well-designed e-Government Strategies?
•  Why might the process be as important as the final document?
• What constitutes successful e-Government strategies?
•  What are the key ingredients? How should governments go about designing e-Government strategies?
• What are the steps and processes that are essential not only to the elaboration of the strategy, but also to its successful implementation?
