The third international conference on e-Government eGovWorld
2007
concluded on November 30 with participation by
more than 200 delegates from across the world. The
e-development Thematic Group of The World Bank
along with us organized a global dialogue on
mobile government potential with participation
from 10 countries. Key outcomes of the
deliberations were to explore the potential
of mobile government more seriously and also to
make the stakeholder consultation a compulsory
requirement for e-Government project design. In
short, the consensus was reached among the
delegates to focus on citizen driven e-Government
projects for enhancing the success of such
projects. We will be following this approach
for the future versions of the newsletter with new
features for enabling involvement of the readers
in shaping the content and format of this
newsletter. Your active participation will help us
make this newsletter truly user driven.
