WHAT IS E-GOVERNANCE


E-governance is the delivery of government services and information to the public using electronic means (usually Information Technology).
IT is seen as the best way for the implementation of e-governance because it is efficient, speedy, participatory, transparent, and affords accountability when disseminating information to the public while at the same time performing Government activities.

E-Governance usually falls under three sections:


- E-administration, which is aimed at improving government processes especially in the public Sector

- E-services, aimed at improving the delivery of public services, for example, providing public documents online (such as birth certificates, etc.)

- E-Democracy which is aimed at involving greater participation by the public in the decision making process of a country.

The purpose of e-governance is to enhance good governance and democracy by having participation and consultation (feed back) from the public.
