Government Use of ICT 2008.http://www.e.govt.nz/resources/research/ict-survey-2008/govt-ict-survey-2008.pdf. p 16. Accessed 22 November 2009.Comparable data on <strong>the</strong> use of ICTs in government are rare. A few surveys, mostly in developed countries, offerpointers to <strong>the</strong> use of ICTs in national governments. For example, <strong>the</strong> New Zealand Government Use of ICT Survey2008 provides information about <strong>the</strong> state of ICT use in order to inform government decisions and monitor progressin how ICTs are supporting <strong>the</strong> goals of efficiency in government (Table 6.2). The survey was administered by <strong>the</strong>State Services Commission and covered 163 state-sector organizations. Of <strong>the</strong>se, 144 were central government organizationsand 19 state-owned enterprises. The overall response rate was 64 per cent, but was somewhat higherfor larger organizations (95 per cent for organizations with more than 1 000 employees and 22 per cent for organizationswith less than 50 employees). The results illustrate that, after <strong>the</strong> initial rush by countries to adopt ICTs ingovernment, a more systematic effort is being made at this second stage to ascertain how ICTs are being used bygovernment departments and ministries. Though sporadic, <strong>the</strong>se surveys suggest that, thus far, <strong>the</strong> potential synergiescreated by use of ICTs in governments have been exploited only to a limited extent.ii) Establish central and local government websitesSetting up a website is <strong>the</strong> entry point for governments to move online, and a basis for developing more sophisticatedonline services. The indicator comprises <strong>the</strong> percentage of central government departments with established websitesand <strong>the</strong> percentage of local government departments with established websites.Central government departmentsA review of progress on <strong>the</strong> establishment of central government websites shows that <strong>the</strong> pattern of e-governmentdevelopment in <strong>the</strong> last few years has been one of expansion and consolidation. Considerable progress has beenmade by governments worldwide since <strong>the</strong> second phase of <strong>WSIS</strong> in Tunis towards providing information and servicesthrough <strong>the</strong> use of ICTs. As e-government services have continued to expand around <strong>the</strong> world, website assessmentindicates that <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> UN Member States have vigorously embraced electronic service delivery.Progress on achievement of <strong>the</strong> <strong>WSIS</strong> goal of establishing national websites has been rapid. Based on <strong>the</strong> UNDESAsurvey findings, at <strong>the</strong> level of central governments, no fewer than 189 of <strong>the</strong> 192 UN Member States had set upgovernment websites by 2009 (Table 6.3).In most developed countries, online presence was initially characterized by <strong>the</strong> development of a nationalhomepage as <strong>the</strong> point of entry. As e-government endeavours advanced, this gave way to integrated portals,in some cases with enormous amounts of information and services. Often entitled <strong>the</strong> Official Governmentsite, Gateway to Government, or Government Electronic Portal, <strong>the</strong> evolution of <strong>the</strong>se integrated portals in <strong>the</strong>124

For example, in 2005, <strong>the</strong> Government of Malta had two separate websitesaimed at different sets of users: one providing information, and one offering online services. Since <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>the</strong> countryhas moved forward in consolidating its online services into an integrated portal bringing toge<strong>the</strong>r all e-governmentservices and offering quick, convenient and personalized access to public electronic services.Some countries have opted for one national site as <strong>the</strong> main gateway, with links to o<strong>the</strong>r service delivery portalsaimed at different users (for example <strong>the</strong> U.S. FirstGov portal, http://www.firstgov.gov, and in Singapore,http://www.gov.sg).In ano<strong>the</strong>r model of e-government, some countries have implemented national online presence with separate portalsdesigned to offer different access points for different audiences. For example, Norway has <strong>the</strong> official governmentsite, described as your gateway to <strong>the</strong> public sector in Norway (http://norge.no), and ano<strong>the</strong>r government websitefor information from <strong>the</strong> government and <strong>the</strong> ministries, (http://www.regjeringen.no) which provides public informationand services on a wide range of issues such as agriculture, asylum and refugee policy, taxes, <strong>the</strong> economy, etc.Many developing countries have also chosen this audience-targeted portal approach. For example, Mauritius(http://www.gov.mu) has set up dedicated subportals for citizens and <strong>the</strong> business sectors.In some countries, instead of <strong>the</strong> national government website or portal serving as a single point of entry, <strong>the</strong> Headof State website serves this purpose, with links to o<strong>the</strong>r departments. For example, Algeria has <strong>the</strong> President’s webpage(http://www.el-mouradia.dz/francais/Sommaire.html) with links to national institutions such as <strong>the</strong> Presidencyof <strong>the</strong> Republic, <strong>the</strong> National People’s Assembly, <strong>the</strong> National Council and <strong>the</strong> various ministries. In o<strong>the</strong>r instances,Head of State websites are provided in addition to a national homepage or a national portal. By 2008, 124 countriesout of <strong>the</strong> 192 UN Member States had a Head of State website, though in many cases in addition to <strong>the</strong> nationalgovernment website.In most countries, many government ministries/departments are online, too. By 2008, some 82 per cent of all countrieshad established one or more sectoral websites for <strong>the</strong> ministries of finance, education, health, social welfareand labour. In around three quarters of <strong>the</strong> 192 UN Member States, non-executive branches of governments werealso online (Chart 6.1).As with national homepages/central portals, <strong>the</strong>re is no discernible pattern to <strong>the</strong> establishment of departmental servicesonline. Models vary according to each country’s vision, strategy and needs. Some countries have set up links to <strong>the</strong>national portal; o<strong>the</strong>rs have done so to <strong>the</strong> Head of State website, where no national portal exists. A few have independentstandalone ministry/department websites which may also serve as <strong>the</strong> country’s entry point. In Angola, for example,<strong>the</strong>re is no single national website; instead, <strong>the</strong>re are standalone websites for <strong>the</strong> National Assembly, <strong>the</strong> ConstitutionalCommission, <strong>the</strong> National Police, <strong>the</strong> National Bank of Angola, <strong>the</strong> Radio and <strong>the</strong> TV, and several ministries.125
