Good governance and e-government : applying a formal outcome analysis methodology in a developing world context

Abstract

This paper, based on a local e-government project in Fez, Morocco presents an empirically based methodology for assessing project outcomes in the context of factors of “good governance”. Factors associated with good governance, outcome measures for assessing the results of the project in relation to these factors and a method for assessing e-government developments in a Less Developed Country through their contribution to “good (local) governance” are developed in this paper as well as indicators for enabling a project outcome assessment as a measurement of the project’s contribution to the improvement of good governance.
