Challenges

E-governance is a key element to modern administrative reform and citizen engagement while it also presents complex challenges. Integrating information and communication technologies into government operations demands substantial infrastructural investments and skilled human resources. In addition, ensuring data security and protecting citizens’ privacy on digital platforms is a significant concern.
Digital divides persist worldwide and increase inequalities in access to e-governance services. Resistance to change within government institutions and among citizens can hinder the adoption of new technologies. Moreover, establishing interoperability between government systems and keeping pace with technological advancements require ongoing efforts and adaptations.
