Towards an e-government framework for the Republic of Uganda

The growth experienced in Internet usage has had a great impact on how government institutions execute tasks and how information is shared information amongst them. For this matter, different governments from different countries have adopted the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms in order to ease the delivery and to enhance effective delivery of services to their nationals through the use Electronic-government (eGovernment) frameworks. Many countries have benefited tremendously from using eGovernment structures and service delivery in certain areas of the economy has greatly improved. However, this kind of development is yet to reach the Republic of Uganda at the time of writing this paper. Therefore, the problem this paper addresses is that, there still exists no eGovernment framework in the Republic of Uganda (Rep. of Ug) at the time of writing this research paper. Due to lack of such a framework, service delivery and communication between nationals and their elected government officials is very poor and slow. The authors of this paper propose an eGovernment framework that has a possibility of being incorporated in the Rep. of Uganda. With this, the authors of this paper believe that the conclusions drawn from this paper can be used in the development and formulation of a more detailed and cutting-edge eGovernment framework not just for the Rep. of Ug but also those other countries that are yet to adopt this kind of framework. Also, this framework can be used to draw attention of the Rep. of Uganda's government officials responsible for making future plans of the country.
