| Resumen: | E-government is a powerful tool for human development and essential to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals including the Millennium Development Goals. Many countries are experiencing its transformative power in revitalizing public administration, overhauling public management, fostering inclusive leadership and moving civil service towards higher efficiency, transparency and accountability. They recognize e-government as a way of realizing the vision of a global information society. In contrast, countries slow to embrace e-government tend to remain mired in the typical institutional pathologies of supply-driven services and procedures, remoteness between government and citizen, and opaque decision-making processes.
Taking as its theme the most pressing challenge of recent times, the United Nations E-Government Survey 2010 focuses on the global financial and economic crisis. Part One of this report is dedicated to a discussion of the ways in which e-government can be leveraged to mitigate the effects of the financial and economic crisis on development. Its three chapters examine e-government in light of three stated priorities of United Nations Member States. Part Two is a report on the results of a global survey. |
