ePractice.eu partners with actors who have similar goals to exchange people, content, and ideas. Our partners all contribute real, tangible benefits to our community. So far, our highly selective partner program includes:

The World Bank (eGovernment practice @ The World Bank's Information Solutions Group).

At an accelerated pace, World Bank Group client countries are adopting the transforming principles of electronic government as a conceptual and technical framework for governance and public management (GPM) reforms, harnessing ICT for Public Sector Modernization and Private Sector Competitiveness. The e-Government Practice at the Information Solutions Group (ISG) emerged to support the application of e-government across the Bank’s operational portfolio through Technical Assistance, lending and the sharing of best practice knowledge. The activity of the team includes online knowledge resources. The World Bank collaborates with ePractice.eu on sharing best practice cases in global eGovernment.

The Development Gateway Foundation (dgCommunities eGovernment).

The eGovernment community of the Development Gateway Foundation aims to create a community that facilitates information sharing and interaction among its users to understand, develop a strategy, initiate, and manage e-government projects in developing countries. While ICT is widely acknowledged to be an effective enabler of improvements in governance, use of this technology for development by government is not extensive in the developing world. This is attributable to a lack of experience with technology, an inherent distrust in impersonal services, and cost of experimentation. The target groups are government officials, technology consultants, academics, and funding agencies for projects in developing countries. The Development Gateway Foundation collaborates with ePractice.eu on community building in global eGovernment and in the exchange of news and resources between the developing and the developed world.

OECD (OECD eGovernment project)

Launched in 2001, the OECD E-Government Project explores how governments can best exploit information and communication technologies (ICTs) to embed good governance principles and achieve public policy goals. The Project produces reports on best practices and develops frameworks for addressing issues such as cost/benefit analysis, e-services and take-up. It also carries out country peer reviews on e-government. These reviews place e-government in a national context, and help identify the strengths and weaknesses of national e-government programmes. The key factors that distinguish this project from other work on e-government are the focus on the longer term and its attention to good governance and public administration reform. The most disctinctive contribution comes from a series of country studies, commissioned by OECD Member States. Recent studies include Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Mexico, Norway, and Turkey. A country study of Portugal is ongoing. The OECD collaborates with ePractice.eu on sharing best practice in eGovernment between EU27+ and the 30 OECD member countries.
