10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Worldwide, governments are wrestling with a wide
range of social and political challenges and are looking to innovations in
technology, in the institutions of government and in the interactions between
government and citizens to help them meet these challenges. Serving citizens
efficiently and effectively, engaging interested parties in decision making,
and creating sustainable economies, are among the many ways innovations in
policy and practice can directly impact the public value created from any
Electronic Governance investment. To justify continued or new investments in
Electronic Governance, decision makers must increasingly provide evidence that
the innovations they are supporting create public value. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

role of openness in fostering transparency, participation, accountability and
smarter government. In addition, ICEGOV encourages participants to push
thinking on measurement and evaluation beyond current models and techniques and
to pay particular attention to the ways research and practice can effectively
align Electronic Governance initiatives with major policy programs to
ultimately provide value to citizens.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
