Organisational Framework for e-Government Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Two decades ago, most of the Sub-Saharan African countries joined the rest of the world in adopting ICTs to improve the delivery of government services. These African countries regarded e-Government with numerous benefits including greater efficiency, improved public services, reduced corruption and enhanced engagement with citizens. Yet, progress in e-gov development in these countries has been relatively slow comparing to other regions of the world [19]. The paper aligns the concept of Project Management Office (PMO) [9] to the public administrative set-up of Cameroon in presenting an organizational framework suitable for e-Government development improvement. This concept is applicable to other Sub-Saharan African countries which have similar organizational challenges.
