Transforming Governments through E-Government Projects

E-Government has been recognized as a powerful tool to help all types of economies – developed,developing and transition – to bring the benefits of the emerging global information society to the largest possible part of their respective populations. The E-Government Handbook for Developing Countries, published by November 2002 by the World Bank infoDev program, is a first attempt to bring together key resources and examples of best practices from around the world and to provide an operational tool to help E-Government practitioners move ahead swiftly and efficiently as possible, according to Bruno Lanvin, infoDev Program Manager. The Handbook was a project of infoDev and the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). The full text is available on the website: www.infodev.org.
