Track coverage:
Advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) have profoundly impacted public services citizen engagement and subsequent superior policy outcomes. How have ICT improved public services, healthcare delivery, and welfare states, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic? How have e-government initiatives re-invented government services through ICT? Technology presents many opportunities for teaching and learning, but these must be critically understood within complex political, cultural, and social systems. How have we seen e-vote, e-participation, and other digital mechanisms to improve citizens’ participation? We also welcome studies on new technology applications using the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Distributed Ledgers Technology (DLT), Blockchain, Big Data processing,  drones, and smart grids. Other important topics include digital transformation and innovation initiatives at government agencies of different levels and domains, their drivers and motivations, the processes and strategies they adopted, the barriers and challenges they faced, their critical success factors, and their impact on various aspects of performance.
