CALL FOR E-GOV BEST PRACTICES

SUBMIT BEST PRACTICES, CASES STUDIES AND PAPERS FOR E-GOV TOOLKIT

CDT, in association with the World Bank's InfoDev Program, is looking for best practices, case studies and papers for inclusion in a toolkit to guide the evolution of electronic government in developing countries.

This toolkit is intended to be used by technology and policy leaders in the developing world to design their own e-government projects. Submissions for this toolkit must be of practical value.

Take a look at the outline of e-government that we prepared with our international advisory board - the outline gives a good overview of the issues that will be covered in the toolkit.

Procedure: Send in your success stories, models, guides, etc, through the online form at: http://www.cdt.org/egov/submissions.shtml. We ask that you designate your submission as either a best practice/case example or an overview/paper.

• Best practices and case examples should highlight how e-gov principles have been applied to specific projects in the developing world. The advisory board is looking for examples that provide good models for developing countries to follow.
• Overviews and papers should provide generalized guidance to those who are embarking on e-government, providing advance warnings of the pitfalls but also highlighting the opportunities and cost savings available. Accountability is key to the advisory board's vision of e-government and the board will be looking for papers that reflect this.

The advisory board will review the submissions looking for quality, focus and responsiveness to the outline of issues and approaches. Authors will be given full attribution and the final product will be widely distributed by InfoDev.

Submission deadline: March 31, 2002

Questions about the project, submission process, or outline should be sent to egov@cdt.org.
