or
(a) There should be a clear linkage between the type of content that is brought on-line and larger development goals, such
as economic development, anti-corruption, and attracting FDI.
(b) Criteria used for information publication should be related to cost and time savings and envisaged productivity gains.
(c) Central e-government group responsible for interoperability and inter-agency consistency of e-government services,
security, consolidation of records, and M&E.
Next steps
Receive comments on M&E toolkit
Establish and launch METER website
Develop new modules (in partnership)
Launch revised version of toolkit at WSIS
Offer toolkit in different languages
Continue to contribute to continuous
exchange of best practices in the area of estrategies M&E
Reflect outcome in WB practices
Conclusions/proposals
Include M&E indicators in WSIS follow-up
mechanism
Launch partnerships between interested
organizations and volunteer pilot countries
Build more partnerships (among donors, and
with other players, e.g. private) to enhance
effectiveness of e-strategies
Disseminate best practices in ‘METER’
implementation
