E-aligning Africa : working with the private sector to implement innovative e-government solutions to address Africa's developmental goals: executive summary

Abstract

E-Alignment is critical to achieving the maximum benefits of E-Government. E-Alignment is a phrase I coined to illustrate the need for a collaborative and framework based approach to the design and implementation of E-Government solutions. Partnering with the private sector and civil society enables governments to share the costs and the risks associated with the deployment of E-Government solutions. Each sector plays a pivotal role in leveraging resources - for desired and sustainable outcomes.
