The digital divide remains formidable in scaling information
and communication technology (ICT)-enabled opportunities for
effective leadership and development in countries lagging
behind, (Ahmed, 2015). Based on the case study, the authors
reminded us that, the practice of e-Participation provides an
avenue for adaptation, application, and utilization of ICT as a
subset of e-Commerce, in the realm of e-Democracy and, it is a
concept needed to bridge the existing digital gap within and
across countries in a global context.
Q2:
From the chapter, we learned that as the world moves at a
faster and voluminous pace, there is need to acquire technology
and the skill to use it, as is increasing at the rate beyond those
societies that are unable to remedy their inadequacies.
However, the challenges to meet this pressure could be
enormous, but not insurmountable, and the means to address
such challenges are abundantly available in ICT-supported
processes like e-Participation. From this context, what is the
functional role of the ICT?
