Framework of E-governance at the Local Government Level

Abstract

E-government theories are prevailing in various formats and concepts around the globe, nations, and institutions, but not many examples to emulate in terms of developing a comprehensive framework of e-governance system at the outer periphery of the government tiers. This research would like to carry out a comprehensive analysis on various theories built around the e-governance concept, but the prime focus will be devoted to penetration of e-government system at the grass roots. To narrow down further, the study will conduct analytical observations in a few developed, developing, and transitional economies. Furthermore, to be more concise, the research will specifically focus on e-government implementations at the grass roots that penetrated the lowest tier of the governance system for community empowerment and knowledge enhancement. Before conclusion, it will try to put forward prospective research agenda, including framework of a future e-government system at the local government level.
