UN E-Government Survey 2008: From E-Government to Connected Governance (257 pages, PDF)

  • “The results of the global survey indicate that governments are moving forward in egovernment development around the world. However, given the high demands placed by e-government on a multitude of foundational pillars which include prerequisites of infrastructure, appropriate policies, capacity development, ICT applications, and relevant content that need to be in place to fully implement e-government services, progress is slow. Only a few governments have made the necessary investment to move from egovernment applications per se to a more integrated connected governance stage…This year Sweden (0.9157) surpassed the United States as the leader. Three
    Scandinavian countries took the top three spots in the 2008 Survey, with Denmark (0.9134) and Norway (0.8921) in second and third place respectively. The United States (0.8644) came in fourth. In this year’s global e-government readiness rankings, the European countries made up 70% of the top 35 countries while the Asian countries made up 20% of the top 35. A large part of the success of the European countries has been their investment in infrastructure and connectivity, most notably in broadband infrastructure. It is worth
    noting that in this year’s Survey, there were no countries in the top 35 from the African, Caribbean, Central American, Central Asian, South American, and Southern Asian regions.”
