World e-government rankings

It has been over a decade since the United Nations started assessing the global e-government development through the initiative “Benchmarking E-government: Assessing the United Nations Member States” in 2001. Since then, there has been increasing evidence through public policy formulation and implementation that e-government, among others, has played an effective enabling role in advancing national development. At the same time, the United Nations E-Government Survey has gained wide acceptance as a global authoritative measure of how public administrations provide electronic and mobile public services. The biennial edition of the United Nations E-Government Survey aims to exemplify successful e-government strategies, pioneering practices with a view towards administrative reform and sustainable development.
