This document outlines key points from Seema Hafeez's presentation at the 2011 eWorld Forum on the United Nations' assessment of national e-readiness. The presentation discusses why governments implement e-government programs, provides an overview of the UN's E-government Survey methodology and results, and shares lessons learned. The Survey ranks 193 UN member states on their e-government development based on online services, telecom infrastructure, and human capital. While most countries now have government websites, few offer transactional online services. The top-ranking countries tend to be European, though some developing countries score highly as well. National governments need policy frameworks and partnerships to better integrate technology into public services.
