| This publication is a report of a regional workshop on e-government and its potential to improve efficiency and transparency in the public sector and to enhance quality of life through more inclusive public services. It presents experiences of ESCAP member countries in the implementation of e-government and discusses issues and options. While most countries of the Asian and Pacific region have e-government strategies and engage in e-government, few have successfully implemented comprehensive online public services, and even fewer have backed these operations with knowledge management in ministries and between government agencies. Even though most governments in the region are eager to further benefit from e-government by improving efficiency and transparency of the public sector and providing inclusive public services, they feel that e-government is a concept that is far removed from current realities. |
