Experience in applying EGOV.* EGOV.* is being implemented in three states: Macao SAR (e-Macao) - the EGOV.* framework was developed out of the experience of implementing the e-Macao project from July 2004 to December 2006. A good number of projects are currently being implemented (since January 2007) in line with the developed Strategy. Afghanistan (EGOV.AF) - The project commenced in May 2009 and is presently in the strategy development phase. Comprehensive readiness data have been collected through both offline and online survey instruments provided in local languages. The project is scheduled for completion in October 2010. Cameroon (EGOV.CM) – The project commenced I January 2010 and is presently in Research phase. Pilot readiness exercise is scheduled to commence by early June 2010.

conclusion We conclude the presentation with the following points: While it is clear that Web 2.0 and Governance 2.0 potentially provides concrete benefits in terms participation, like any technological solution, realizing these benefits is not trivial. Experiences from around the world shows the need for an explicit policy to shape the form and scope of Governance 2.0 adoption. Strategic alignment between Governance 2.0 strategy (technology strategy) and Participatory Governance strategy (organizational strategy) is critical for concrete outcomes. While there are already exciting opportunities provided by the existing Web 2.0 tools, more opportunities particularly for the public sector lie in automatic processing of the huge amounts of data provided by citizens on social media, through the integration across social media applications and mining valuable information from these data to support policy decisions. A concrete approach to implementing Governance 2.0 is the EGOV.* framework.
