E-government Grants
The Development Gateway Foundation’s E-government Grants Program
channels funds and project management expertise to e-government
initiatives that are scalable and cost-effective.
Governments in developing countries face huge challenges in
delivering basic services to citizens and businesses. Yet these are
critical to foster social and economic growth. The introduction of
new processes and capabilities through information and
communications technologies (ICT) can provide new ways to improve
the functioning of the public sector.
The grants program was initiated with the government of Italy's
Italy's E-government for Development
Initiative, and the
World Bank.
Procurement and Statistics for Effective Development
Public procurement, financial management, and statistics systems in
developing countries need to be strengthened if aid and development
funds are to have more impact.
DGF grants focus on procurement and statistics systems, which can
help governments become more efficient, effective, and transparent
across many sectors. Past grants have also assisted with more
general ICT needs in government.
