  10. 6 Themes of the 2014 Survey http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/ Part 2 - 10 http://www.unpan.org/dpadm/

  11. E-Government as Enabler for Government Transformation We recognize the power of communications technologies, including connection technologies and innovative applications, to promote knowledge exchange, technical cooperation and capacity-building forsustainable development. These technologies and applications can build capacity and enable the sharing of experiences and knowledge in the different areas of sustainable development in an open and transparent manner. http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/ Part 2 - 11

  12. 2014 Findings: Key Highlights for E-Government • E-Government development can contribute towards the post-2015 development agenda: strengthening national capabilities, regional and national networks and stronger voice of citizens in global, regional and local negotiations and policy making. • ICTs are effective platforms to facilitate knowledge sharing, skills development and capacity-building for sustainable development. • Effective regional cooperation will help support change programs and advance e-government development. (Examples: European Union, African Union’s Programme for Infrastructure Development,..) http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/

  13. 2014 Findings: Key Highlights for E-Government (2) • Addressing e-government challenges is often dependent on the national capacity for change and innovation. • Governments across the globe need to undertake a process of transformative change. E-Government should be seen as a holistic process to transform government. • The transformative changes entail not only the design and implementation of innovative practices, but more fundamentally a transformation of government’s role, functions, institutional frameworks and processes. http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/

  14. 2014 Findings: Some considerations for this FORUM • Governments need to undertake a process of transformative change for the future that requires to: • Become catalysts for change instead of mere service providers; • Become facilitators in promoting networked co-responsibility among all stakeholders by engaging and empowering communities to take part in the solution of their own problems; • Allow for a competitive rather than monopolistic approach to provision of public goods and services; • Become entrepreneurial in generating revenues and promoting partnerships; • Results-oriented and customer-driven; • Pro-active instead of reactive, i.e. anticipating problems and acting preventively; • Make full use of opportunities afforded by ICTs and e-government especially from Open Data, Big Data, Social Media and Mobile • Learn and enhance capacity building through increased knowledge sharing http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/
