Assessing e-Government Readiness

The United Nations e-Government Survey 2008 presents a comparative assessment of the 192 United Nations Member States’ response to the ever-pressing demands of citizens and businesses for quality government services and products. The Survey evaluates the application of information and communication technologies by governments. The aims to which these technologies are put to use vary, but include: better access and delivery of services to citizens, improved interaction with citizens and business, and the empowerment of citizens through access to information. Overall, they result in a more effective and efficient government in general. This evaluation of egovernment readiness places citizens at the forefront, by focusing on the governmental services and products that primarily affect them.
