e-Government initiatives drive public service delivery

The public sector has gone through radical changes in recent years. Citizens are more demanding than ever, expecting government departments to be responsive to requests and accountable for their actions. Against a backdrop of budgets cuts, government departments are still expected to deliver more services to their citizens for less money.

Saving costs and providing better quality services to citizens at the same time is possible through creating better efficiency. Various e-Government initiatives are designed to promote and encourage the use of automated technology solutions to gain efficiency to achieve exactly that goal.
