E-Governance
Definition: “Electronic Governance” is the meaning of E-governance. It is a part of

e-Government. E-Governance is dealing with all regulations and policies to control
the services provided by the e-Government. E-governance is an on-going and
evolutionary process. It use information and communication technologies (ICTs) at
various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose
of enhancing governance
According to the UNESCO, “E-governance is the public sector’s use of information

and communication technologies with the aim of improving information and service
delivery, encouraging citizen participation in the decision-making process and
making government more accountable, transparent and effective. E-governance
involves new styles of leadership, new ways of debating and deciding policy and
investment, new ways of accessing education, new ways of listening to citizens and
new ways of organizing and delivering information and services. E-governance is
generally considered as a wider concept thane-government, since it can bring about
a change in the way citizens relate to governments and to each other. E-governance
can bring forth new concepts of citizenship, both in terms of citizen needs and
responsibilities. Its objective is to engage, enable and empower the citizen.”
Moreover, E-Governance refers to the utilization of information and communication

technology (ICT) for providing government services, disseminating information,
communication operations with the general public.
E-governance Model:

process (electronic democracy);
 The provision of public services

 G2C (Government to Citizen)
G2C are those activities in which the government provides one-stop, on-line access
to information and services to citizens. This is the communication process of
individual citizens with the government.
 G2B (Government-to-Business)
In G2B, the government deals with businesses such as suppliers using the Internet
and other ICTs. G2B includes two two-way interactions and transactions:
government-to- business and business-to-government (B2G).
 G2G (Government - to-Government)
G2G deals with those activities that take place between different government
organizations/agencies. Many of these activities are aimed at improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of overall government operations.
 G2E (Government to Employees):

The government of any country is the biggest employer and so it also deals with
employees on a regular basis, as other employers do. ICT helps in making the
interaction between government and employees fast and efficient, along with
raising their level of satisfaction by providing perquisites and add-on benefits.

Uses of E-governance in BD:
 Public Access Systems; that satisfy the public’s need to know and right to
know.
 Knowledge Management Systems; that turn your organization’s data into
useful, intelligent information.
 Transaction Systems; that encompass public access and knowledge
management systems.
 No rational decision support tools for public officials; technologies and data
standards that encourage information search, selection, analysis, and sharing
can strongly influence the nature.
Pros and Cons of E-governance:
Pros: As Bangladesh Government wants to digitize every operation, this has

increased the demand for effective and efficient software development through
which every operation will be less time consuming.
Cons: The main disadvantage of an electronic government is an electronic based

system which loses the person to person interaction and that is valued by a lot
of people.
This is not an impossible task, Bangladesh can gain the competitive advantage in this
region. So the country needs to boost up its infrastructure so that it can transfer its
liabilities into possibilities.
