eGovernment in Mozambique: Past, Future and New Prospects

Abstract

This paper discusses the context, implications and prospects of development of electronic government in Mozambique, considering the increasing use of e-governance, its bases of implementation, actors involved and their modus operandi. The initiatives that took place since the creation of the ICT policy in Mozambique, the electronic government strategy and the projects in progress are considered. Internet access in Mozambique is nowadays carried out mostly through mobile devices. The study argues for the feasibility of implementation of effective e- government in Mozambique, which can be achieved by implementing a hybrid infrastructure of electronic services, accessible both via computer and mobile devices.
