(3) What is eGovernance?
e-Governance is to enhance the access & delivery of Government
information and services to citizens, business partners, employees,
other agencies, and Government entities by using Information &
Communication Technology.
(4) What is the scope of e-Governance?
Accountability - To make Government more open and transparent.
Example: publishing council debates and minutes on the web for easy
access by public and press;
Transparent and Fair Services Delivery - Automating for efficient
interactions with the public and business, and increasing access
points. There are powerful anti-corruption opportunities through
liberalizing access points.
Example: Electronic exchange of land registry information with land
agents and lawyers; making forms and licensing available
electronically to avoid trips to government offices with the risk of
wasted time and bribes;
Governance - An emerging area where some jurisdictions are
experimenting with alternate polling and electoral processes.
Example: some political parties are using telephone automated
response systems to vote for leadership candidates;
(5) What is the reach/impact of eGovernance?
The internet is the most powerful and popular means of delivering
eGovernance. However, services may also be delivered through:
Conventional Telephone - Call centers, automated voice responses,
automated notification of events, easily combined with FAX for
FAX-on-demand of forms and information; Wireless Digital Telephone
and Messaging Technology - Wireless technology offers a
cost-effective telecommunication and Internet services to rural
areas. FAX - Diversifying delivery channels extends the services to
as many citizens as possible. Access can also be expanded
creatively; for example, where individual personal computer
ownership is low, access to computers may be made available through
a coop, community police station, or other group. Use of existing
telephone and FAX technology is often a quick solution. Radio -
Radio is the most cost-effective communication method in rural
community. UNICEF experimented in rural Sri Lanka a Community
Radio/Internet Project, where local resource persons translate
Internet content to radio program so that local people can have an
access to information on the Internet.
(6) How does e-Governance benefit citizens/govt?
The Indian Ministry of IT will soon set the pace for hi-tech
governance by developing software to process a wide variety of
proposals. Officials at various levels will have to make online
decisions on these proposals. Such software will not only get rid of
red tape, but will also increase transparency. Files and dossiers
will no longer have to move from table to table. No longer will
Indian people need to pay endless visits to government offices to
get their proposals cleared.
(7) What needs to be done to speed up the pace of
e-Governance activities (by Govt/Citizens)?
e-Governance initiatives can be implemented at the central or local
government level. In general, coordination will be required to help
in the identification of crosscutting issues and the creation of
appropriate strategies to address them such strategies should
include details of departmental and sector programs to transform
their businesses in accordance with an overall eGovernance strategy.
