Computer Aided Strategic Planning for eGovernment Agility A Global Instrument for Developing Countries

Most of the developing countries are re-inventing the wheel in their efforts to launch egovernment initiatives -especially in the areas of healthcare, education, economic development, supply chains for food distribution, and emergency services. A Computer Aided Strategic Planner, part of the UN eNabler Toolset, has been developed to quickly and effectively produce detailed strategic plans for a wide range of egovernment services based on best practices and standards. The generated plan is highly customized for the type of service as well as the country/region by using the latest thinking in AI, ontologies, and patterns. The Planner, available through the UN-GAID initiative, can be and has been used very effectively to educate as well as assist the government officials of developing countries to accelerate progress in crucial areas.
