Call for Project Descriptions
In light of the importance of e-government as a tool to meet the Millennium Development Goals, the Division for Public Administration and Development Management, through its online network for Public Administration (UNPAN), has created a Knowledge Base of innovative practices in the area of e-government. In accordance with UNPAN’s mission to promote the sharing of knowledge experiences and best practices among United Nations Member States, the Knowledge Base provides an opportunity to the Governments to share with the world their activities in e-government by highlighting their valuable experiences.
The second version of the Knowledge Base on Innovative E-government Practices was published online in September 2006 and printed in hard copy in June 2007. It includes 200 cases from 57 different countries, and can be accessed at: http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/UN/UNPAN023997.pdf
We will publish annual reviews of the Knowledge Base. If you manage or are in any way related to an innovative e-government application in your country, either at the national or local level, that you consider valuable and that you would like to see included in the Knowledge Base, you can provide us the information, with the understanding that it will be reviewed and considered for inclusion, and may be revised.
Please see the following brief guidelines when submitting the project description of the application, which should not exceed five (5) pages:
- Project description (background, area of application, main functions and features); objectives; impact/results (including benefits and costs generated by the project); key issues (problems encountered during the implementation stage); results as compared with expectations; and target groups;
- Lessons learned (including feedback).
Also you should provide:
- Weblink of the application/solution;

Responsibility for updates (as needed) will rest with the person who originated the information.
