Not many
governments' eGovernment reforms have been
successful in transforming organizations
into more transparent and accountable ones
and the challenge from invested interest
seems much stronger for anti-corruption-focused
eGovernance projects. This workshop will
try to share the lessons learned from early
implementers of eGovernment applications.
This workshop will consists of three presentations
analyzing three main eGovernment application,
eProcurement, Government financial management
information system, and nation-wide eGovernment
strategy and implementation.
Topics:
1. Why so many eGovernance projects have
failed?
2. What went wrong?
3. What we ignored?
4. When can eGovernment be a good solution
to anti-corruption?
5. Under what circumstances can ICT be
used to reduce accountability? |

While the
introduction of Information Technology-led
interventions in the public sector is widely
seen today as a key enabler of management
control to fight corruption, disquieting
trends are appearing on the downside of
eGovernance. Emerging cases of eCorruption
and eCrime point to the reality that IT-based
systems are facilitating new corruption
opportunties for public servants. In the
developing world, where there is a fast
diffusion of IT-led public sector reform
initiatives, a new form of exclusion is
being highlighted wherein the poor and the
marginalised are often victimised by the
new technology. Moreover, unmanaged risks
that transcend nationality and experience
are those that surround ePrivacy and the
exploitation of personal information gained
through the use and misuse of the new technology.
This workshop attempts to highlight these
issues and stimulate thinking based on enabling
experiences to effectively combat unmanaged
risks associated with IT-led public sector
initiatives.
Topics:
1. Managing eCorruption risks with the
NSW public sector
2. eGovernance and exclusion: Evidence
from the field
3. Electronic theft of personal information

Building
an equitable information society demands
participation by all stakeholders. Such
a process can enhance governmental transparency,
progressive democracy, people's participation
and the fight against corruption. Governments
and multilateral agencies have started to
recognise the importance of private sector
participation together with the civil society
in the formation of information societies.
This workshop will explore whether and how
partnerships between the citizens, civil
society, governments and business enhance
people's participation in the democratic
process and promote equitable access to
information by all people, including women,
children, the youth, and the marginalised.
Topics:
1. The need for public-private partnerships
2. The need for partnership and transparency
to close the digital divide

quality and effectiveness of pro-poor
