Towards a Model for Implementing Local E-government in Uganda

This paper reports on a study that developed a model for implementing local e-government in Uganda, as an example of a developing country. The model which builds on an existing one defines dimensions of financial constraints, ICT infrastructure, sensitization, training and social political factors as pre-requisites for successfully implementing local e-government projects in Uganda. The need to implement local e-government for improved service delivery is well documented and various models have been proposed for this important task. However, existing models are known to be suited for implementing e-government in the developed countries at the national level. In the developing countries, the technical and non-technical infrastructures are not as mature as those of developed countries.
