progress aga<strong>in</strong>st e-government goals may be a reflection <strong>of</strong> the decentralised and relatively<br />
autonomous nature <strong>of</strong> public management arrangements <strong>in</strong> <strong>Denmark</strong>. It may also reflect the fact that<br />
e-government is neither a headl<strong>in</strong>e policy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Government</strong> nor a goal <strong>in</strong> its own right, but rather an<br />
enabl<strong>in</strong>g element <strong>of</strong> public sector reform and modernisation; it therefore generates less demand for<br />
report<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> results than would otherwise be the case.<br />

Key po<strong>in</strong>t 8.3<br />
E-government monitor<strong>in</strong>g and evaluation is a voluntary activity given relatively low priority by many Danish<br />
government organisations. The monitor<strong>in</strong>g and evaluation that occurs is biased towards <strong>in</strong>dividual organisations<br />
and the users <strong>of</strong> their services, and is undertaken <strong>in</strong>ternally rather than externally to a significant degree. Results<br />
<strong>of</strong> monitor<strong>in</strong>g and evaluation are not widely diffused outside most organisations, and there appears to be limited<br />
external demand for this type <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation.<br />
