The United Nations e-Government Survey 2008 examines how governments around the world are using new technologies and Internet-based tools to deliver public services and engage citizens. The report finds that while e-government can enhance access to government services and information, more work is still needed to connect government agencies and fully leverage technology to benefit citizens. It was published by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, which aims to support global policymaking and action through data analysis, facilitating negotiations, and advising on sustainable development.
