THE CHALLENGE
Nations and organizations have various data sources, databases and siloed services available to them. Nevertheless, the full potential of digital technologies is not being used, whereas development is rapid in urban areas, in many rural areas have yet to feel the benefits.
A process should be adapted for each country, as e-governance should not be seen as separate from the general governance of the State.
The recognition of what e-governance means is still in its infancy with no clarity on key concepts and therefore a lack of leadership. In this context, 4P supports Institutions, traditional centres of leadership and international agencies, driving digital governance and social media management related issues.
4P is here to help you design and build new governance models for the digital era, so you can do what you are best at: Leading!
