United Nations Global E-Government Forum brought together
700 participants from all around the world. It took place in Astana, Kazakhstan
in 7-8 October 2014 under the theme of “Smart Governance for Sustainable
Development”.
Due to its importance for the development of societies and international
interaction opportunities, e-government is one of the serious points in UN’s
agenda. To bring it on an international round table, the United Nations
Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) organized two Global e-Government
Forums cooperatively with the Government of Republic of Korea. The first Forum
was in 2012 in Seoul, South Korea. In the following year, the second Forum also
took place in South Korea.
As it was stated in the information about the Forum
released by the UNDESA, “to continue its global initiative to promote
e-government development”, the UNDESA collaborated with the Government of
Kazakhstan for the third Global Forum on e-Government. When we look at the themes
of the previous Forums, it can be seen that “Smart Government for a Better
Future” and then “Smart Government and Smart Society: Openness, Sharing,
Communication and Collaboration” is followed by this year’s “Smart Government
for Sustainable Development: New Opportunities for Partnership in the Networked
Society”. UNDESA’s Under-Secretary-General Wu Hongbo said that smart government
could “broaden public participation in decision making and service delivery”.
The participants discussed a number of important topics such as Citizen Involvement for Smart Government, Bridging
Digital Divide, The Evolution of E-Services during two days. The Winners of
the United Nations e-Government Survey were also presented and awarded in the
first day of the Forum.
