Abstract

Developing sustainable, effervescent, responsive and robust e-Government solutions is not an easy undertaking because of the multi-dimensional nature of e-Government. Therefore, e-Government success or failure is defined by contextual factors, in turn defined by the area in which it is implemented. The chapter explores the critical factors that need to be included in the design of e-Government solutions focusing on Zambia as a case study. A discussion and presentation of a contextual framework for e-Government design in Zambia is provided. It is anticipated that this framework may be used as reference to inform the design of e-Government solutions in contextually similar environments.
