Published: 27 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Evidence exist that e-Governance can facilitate the delivery of information and services needed by stakeholders, citizens, and decision makers in a cost-effective, efficient, and streamlined way; representing a possible solution for some developing countries, such as Afghanistan. As so emerges the need for deliver services and provide access to information in a seamless way. Being the first step to interconnect e-service applications and make them interoperate in all governmental institutions. Or go beyond methodologies for deployment of interoperability frameworks, and extend governance best practices to include various stages and activities for provision of e-services. This article aims to discuss the readiness of Afghan government for deploying e-government services and solutions. It uses Ministry of Education as a particular case study.
