MM Khamis, TP van der Weide

Abstract

E-government is an expedient tool to overcome social economic challenges. Being in an initial phase of e-government introduction, Zanzibar has to include the use of ICT in its policy documents such as vision 2020 and MKUZA II. In particular, Zanzibar has established a communication infrastructure and a department to implement e-government activities. This paper analyses the readiness of Zanzibar towards e-government implementation. We do a SWOT analysis to identify the government acceptance of egovernment implementation. We identify the major strengths for a successful implementation. A major threat however the technological evolution may be resistant to the majority. Therefore the government should take action by giving clear understanding of the ICT technology to the community.
