Abstract

In the 21st century, e-government has become of prime importance in every country. This has prompted many governments, whether developed or developing, to plan and develop digital technology through which government services could be provided. The growing importance of application of e-government stems from the fact that ICT has the capability of promoting transparency, improving public service delivery, removing corruption, and providing better governance. This chapter is based on a literature review of the data, information, and papers relating to e-government in Central Africa and looks into the issues and challenges to the successful implementation of e-government initiatives in these countries on a wider perspective. The results show that ICT policies, ICT infrastructure, Internet access, connectivity, and the digital divide are among the most common issues in the successful implementation of e-government initiatives in Central African countries.
