| abstract |
This talk highlights the importance and possible modes for
international cooperation on Electronic Governance. Particular aim is
to introduce the UNeGov.net initiative, which objective is to build a
Community of Practice for developing, sharing, and applying concrete
solutions for Electronic Governance, with particular focus on
developing countries. UNeGov.net brings together experts and
practitioners from government, academia, industry and civil society in
a variety of areas related to Electronic Governance: Public
Administration, Information Technology, Knowledge Management,
Sociology, Economics and others. To support the community, UNeGov.net
provides an advanced semantic web portal, a series of network-building
workshops and an annual conference on the Theory and Practice of
Electronic Governance. The emphasis is as much on solving concrete
problems as it is on establishing best practices in the field. The
talk describes the rationale, objectives, activities and future
directions of UNeGov.net, all in the broad context of international
cooperation.
