For a class at the University of the West Indies, a\u00a0discussion of e-government and recent e-government initiatives from across the Caribbean.<\/em><\/p>\n

In mid-October, and for a talk on e-government with graduate students at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica, the following presentation was delivered on e-government across the Caribbean. The presentation\u00a0focussed on\u00a0three areas:<\/p>\n

\n
• a quick overview of\u00a0e-government<\/li>\n
• an examination of how\u00a0the Caribbean performed on latest e-government\u00a0survey conducted by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and<\/li>\n
• a discussion of select e-govt initiatives from across the region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  According to Wikipedia<\/a>, e-government, which is short for electronic government,\u00a0speaks to\u00a0“the digital interactions between a citizen and their government (C2G), between governments and government agencies (G2G), between government and citizens (G2C), between government and employees (G2E), and between government and businesses\/commerce (G2B)”<\/em>. Hence although the\u00a0discussion on e-government tends to focus on G2G, G2C, C2G and G2B, G2E, which is included in the definition, is often overlooked.<\/p>\n

  The e-government initiatives highlighted during the talk are just a few of those in the Caribbean.\u00a0To highlight other initiatives that might be occurring in the region, do leave the details in the Comments section below.<\/p>\n
