Abstract

This paper attempts to bring together key issues in relation to Nepal E-government project juxtaposing recent developments and thinking on key e-Governance initiatives. The study is based on Nepal E-government project design implementation and aims to critically examine the project implementation in relation to eGov alignment, applying whole-of-government approach, partnership and collaboration model, Global electronic trends, knowledge management and information sharing barriers. This case study presents the combined role of whole-of-government in public service delivery and partnerships in one segment of the transformative experience promised by the vision of e-government. Nepal's experience may provide insights for other governments in the process of moving on-line, and it can also be helpful in testing some of the conceptual claims put forth by both proponents and critics of e-government as a theoretical model for public sector reform.
