Title: Towards A Nomadic E-Government
Co-Evolutionary
Framework (NECE) for Building Knowledge Infrastructures for African
Countries
Abstract: Purpose
- E-Government, introduced in African countries under the banner of New
Public
Management (NPM), is envisaged to fundamentally aid in improving
governance
in developing countries. The imported model of E-Government is
therefore
transferred to African countries as a panacea to bad governance by
carriers
such as international donor agencies, consultants, Information
Technology
vendors and Western-trained civil servants. Improved governance is
expected
to impact on the socio-economic development of these countries
implementing
E-Government, as an NPM instrument. This article recognizes that
E-Government
success, which is critically dependent on the World Wide Web, requires
success
frameworks that are context-dependent.
