ESD: Context & ContentESD: Context & Content• In Ontario, being an e-government means applying I&IT to
the workings of government in an all-encompassing way to serve the public more efficiently and effectively and make the economy more competitive.
• Four dimensions of e-government:– Creating and using electronic channels for direct
service delivery– Driving the reform of large public-sector systems such
as health, education, justice and transportation– Streamlining internal government operations– Enhancing citizen engagement in government decision
making
