According to the World Bank, "E-Government" refers to the use by government agencies of information technologies (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government.

It is imperative that governments of developing and developed countries realize the importance of recognizing that for most e-government applications in developing countries, context is crucial for determining the success of the case. This is of particular issue if developing countries continue to attempt to implement and consume homogenous technological solutions based on Western ideals and forms of democracy.
            This website aims to provide useful information to academics, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) interested in development and e-government, governmental bodies considering implementing such solutions within their own countries and even potentially members of the general public who are interested in learning more about such systems that could affect the way they live.

Traditionally, the interaction between a citizen or business and a government agency took place in a government office. With emerging information and communication technologies it is possible to locate service centers closer to the clients. Such centers may consist of an unattended kiosk in the government agency, a service kiosk located close to the client, or the use of a personal computer in the home or office.
