Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of 2010 Survey is how to leverage e-Government in the current financial and economic crisis. The crisis presents a major challenge for UN Member States' attainment of national development goals. Half way through the MDGs, it is important to help enhance their crisis response. In this very context that the Survey explores the potential of e-Government, focusing on its relationship with government spending such as stimulus funding, integrity and efficiency in financial monitoring, and public service delivery. As in the previous Surveys, it assesses e-readiness of Member States according to a number of criteria in an analysis conducted every two years. The Member States are ranked, most of all, on the basis of each Member State's use of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) for the provision of information, products and services; plus the level of telecommunication and human capital infrastructure development. The prime focus of the Survey will remain the Web Measure Index based on an extensive analysis of government national web portals/sites and ministries. Assessment of the e-Government readiness of the 192 Member States according to quantitative index of e-Readiness based on website assessment, tele-communication infrastructure and human capital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN E-Government Survey 2008: From E-Government to Connected Governance assesses the e-government readiness of the 192 Member States of the UN according to a quantitative composite index of e-readiness based on website assessment, telecommunication infrastructure, and human resource endowment. ICTs can help reinvent government in such a way that existing institutional arrangements can be restructured and new innovative arrangements can flourish, paving the way for a transformed government. The focus of the report this year, in Part 2, is e-government initiatives directed at improving operational efficiency through the integration of back-office functions. Whilst such initiatives, if successful, will deliver benefits to citizens, the primary purpose is to improve the effectiveness of government and governmental agencies. Models of back-office integration, irrespective of the delivery mode, fall into three broad categories: single function integration, cross functional integration, and back-office to front-office integration. The level of complexity, expressed in terms of the number of functions within the scope and number of organizations involved, is the primary factor influencing a successful outcome - with a tendency amongst the more ambitious projects to fail to deliver the full anticipated benefits. The key variables involved in the delivery of back-office integration are the people, processes and technology required. Whilst the technology is increasingly resilient and 'fit for purpose', the evidence indicates that success or failure is less a technological issue and more a people issue - in particular, the ability to change public service cultures and motivate public sectorworkers to new ways of working, address trade union concerns, and provide adequately skilled and competent management

Download or read book Assessing The E Goverment Development Performance of Southeast Asian Contries Based on the 2003 2016 UN E Goverment Survey written by Chiara Anindya and published by UGM PRESS. This book was released on 2024-10-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Information Age we live in, governments around the world are prov’ded with a variety of tools to aid their practices. Traditionally deemed as a bureaucratic practice, the incorporation of information and communications technologies (ICTs) allows governments to easily share public information. Egovernment allows citizens to claim an active role in the governing process. The practice of e-government is also seen to be more cost-efficient, as the government can reach its citizens in just a click. Naturally, e-government will continue to develop,adjacenttothe development oftechnology itself. In 2001, the United Nations (UN) started an exhaustive attempt to measure the global practice of e-government. The series of surveys began with an eightyone paged report, titled “Benchmarking E-Government: A Global Perspective.” These surveys would later be known as the UN E-Government Survey. As stated in their 2003 publication, “information technology applications, especially egovernment programs, are increasingly becoming the cornerstone of government operations” (p. 4). One of the primary outcomes of the first UN EGovernment Survey was the E-Government Readiness Index, a treasured instrumentthe UN would later use in theirsubsequent research projects. Until December 2016, the UN has released nine survey reports on global egovernment. The reports were published respectively in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. However, the 2001 issue was not included as data for this monograph, as it remains to only be an early effort in benchmarking the global progress of e-government. Each report addresses specific issues, such as e-inclusion, sustainable development, connected governance, etc. The world rank of e-government practice measured by the EGovernment Development lndex (EGDl) is included in each report. The EGDI was developed using the same components of the E-Government Readiness index butdifiersinthenumberofquestions. Although the report doesn't address the thorough practice of e-government in all countries, it offers insight on the global, regional, and sub-regional digital government trends. Naturally, American and European countries appear frequently on the survey's top ranks. However, some Asian countries were starting to claim their place amongst the world's best e-government practices, with the Republic of Korea beingthe bestworldwide in 2010,2012, and 2014.
