DCC E-Government…… E-Government in Tanzania’s context is about “Delivering quality services to the public through technology”. With that intention, e-Government involves using ICT to support processes within the government (G2G) as well as for the delivery of services to beneficiaries, such as citizens, businesses and other organizations in all sectors.

The Way Forward The application of ICT in the public sector (e- Government) received its impetus from the Public Sector Reform Programmes (PSRP) and the Local Government Reform Programmes (LGRP). However e-Government initiatives have been fragmented due to the lack of e-Government strategy and coordination. This has caused the President’s Office to embark on developing an e-Government strategy and e- Government agency will also be established to coordinate related activities. The Ministry of Government Administration in Tanzania is currently promoting e-Government policies with high interest in e-Government,
