Can Antigua and Barbuda transform the public sector through the implementation of e-government solutions?

Abstract

This dissertation looks at the public service in Antigua and Barbuda in an attempt to answer the question “Can Antigua and Barbuda transform the public sector through the implementation of e-government solutions.” It reviews the ICT journey of three countries which have been successful at implementing e-government solutions in an effort to determine what they have done. It identifies the e-government solutions required by the citizens and residents of the twin island state against the list of solutions recommended for Antigua and Barbuda by e-government experts. It looks at ICT initiatives which currently exist and proposals for new ones, and performs an analysis of how existing or proposed ICT systems and initiatives may assist Antigua and Barbuda in meeting its e-government goals. The document makes recommendations for implementation of e-government initiatives and concludes that Antigua and Barbuda can transform the public sector through the implementation of e-government solutions.
