Asian Development Bank | June 2003
Abstract
E-government is the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to promote more efficient and costeffective government, more convenient government services, greater public access to information, and more government accountability to citizens.1 E-government applications vary widely in the diverse Asia-Pacific region, where the countries range in population size from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to Nauru, and in per capita GDP from Singapore to Nepal.
