Abstract

In this article, the authors present and evaluate an e-society strategy in the East African country of Uganda. The programme-based on a participatory approach and the strategic use of digital and analogue ICTs-aims to improve service delivery to the rural citizens of Apac district and strengthen democratic processes and interaction between Civil Society and Local Government. On the meta level the project aims to develop a practical model for civil society and local government interaction and collaboration towards common e-society goals. The achievements of the project to date are presented and evaluated according to their impact on the quality of service delivery and the quality of democratic processes. On the basis of this article, the authors elicit lessons that can be used to guide similar programmes in rural areas in the developing world.
