E-governance As An Imperative For Sustainable Development- Conceptual Framework-

Authors : El-moffock Nabila .

Abstract

In recent decades, digital transformation has been underway thereby influencing the global economy. Digitalization and sustainable development are the most important trends in modern life, but the intersection of these aspects remains a largely unexplored area. The opinion that the use of e-governance technologies can provide an integrated approach to the implementation of sustainable development is widely accepted among scholars and government representatives. Electronic Governance (EGOV) research studies the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve governance processes. Sustainable Development (SD) research studies possible development routes that satisfy the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Despite substantial progress in advancing both domains independently, little research exists at their intersection — how to utilize EGOV in support of SD. We call this intersection Electronic Governance for Sustainable Development (EGOV4SD). The purpose of this research is to study the conceptual framework for EGOV4SD. The main contribution of the study is establishing a theoretical foundation for EGOV4SD research.
