“…According to the Lowy Institute (2020), countries with higher per capita incomes had more resources to fight COVID-19 and, on average, performed better than developing countries. Furthermore, according to Aniscenko et al (2017), developed countries have more opportunities to implement new and more sophisticated e-government components and information technologies, whereas financial resources are limited in developing countries. Aharon and Siev (2021) argue that underdeveloped monetary and fiscal policies and infrastructure, higher information asymmetry and less developed health systems in emerging economies have increased the severity of the negative COVID-19 effects.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the role of mobile tracing applications as part of e-government services in combating the COVID-19 pandemic effects in Africa by analyzing the moderating role of sustainable development. This study also investigated the role of the political and economic systems in mitigating the negative consequences of COVID-19 and how e-government interacts in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach This study included the COVID-19 performance index for 94 countries belonging to different regions, including 20 African countries. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis via Stata software. The study was conducted from the start of the pandemic to March 13, 2021. Findings The results show that less economically and technologically developed countries with generally authoritarian political systems, including African countries, could limit the spread of the pandemic better than some democratic, economically and technologically developed countries in the first wave of the pandemic. The promotion of sustainable development goals moderates the relationship between mobile tracing applications as part of the e-government service and the fight against COVID-19. Originality/value This study provides insight into the role of mobile application technology as an e-governance service in mitigating the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in a context characterized by economic limitations, fragile public health infrastructure and relatively high political instability, especially in Africa. The findings shed light on some of the difficulties African countries may face in incorporating technology into their development projects.

“…Developed and emerging countries use e-government platforms to better and more efficiently engage with the public (Valencia et al, 2019). As an example, digitization of governmental operations has grown at local governments in the United Kingdom (Vogl et al, 2019) and e-government has developed in Andean countries for enhancing public services (Aniscenko et al, 2017). Furthermore, ICT has applicated for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of public organizations (Cordella & Paletti, 2018).…”

Developed and developing countries have implemented e-government to improve public services, being government organization a key factor influencing e-government effective deployment. Therefore, this study examined variables related to organizational structure and culture and their influence in predicting e- government implementation. This work involved the participation of 400 respondents from regencies and city employees and used a survey data-gathering approach and a purposive sample technique. A Likert scale was used to design the questions. The data were assessed by sem-pls for validity and reliability, as well as to test hypotheses and regression. In aspects of organizational structure, unit size and span of control, in contrast to unit grouping, have a positive and significant impact on e-government implementation. In addition, regarding organizational culture, cooperative attitude, obeying social norms, keeping harmony, and prioritizing duty, as opposed to strong ties to the community, empathy, and being honest and trustworthy, showed a positive and significant effect on e-government implementation. Moreover, independent variables had a substantial impact on dependent variables, as evidenced by an R-square of 0.865. This study has as its main limitations the research area, the number of respondents, and the length of the research period. Finally, theoretical and practical implications and suggestions for future studies are assessed.

“…Although some international perspectives on the subject address local e-government development (Wohlers, 2009;Maciel et al, 2016;Ingrams et al, 2018), the vast majority consider the country level as the basis for analysis. Among the latter, common approaches include the use of EGDI for performing comparative analysis in regional contexts (Aniscenko et al, 2017;Torres-Porras and Duarte-Amaya, 2018;Brimkulov and Baryktabasov, 2017) or between specific countries (Kurdi et al, 2016;Ulman et al, 2016) and to identify global trends. In this section, we review the studies that adopt the latter approach, as it is the same adopted in this study.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate whether, discounting the effect of the relative wealth of countries, it is possible to observe the relevance of policies for e-government development. Design/methodology/approach The deviations of countries' results from what could be expected, considering their relative wealth is calculated by using the residuals of a linear regression using the Gross Domestic Product per capita as the independent variable and the UN E-Government Development Index as the dependent variable. The countries that achieve better and worse results than expected are then identified and their cases are analyzed by resorting to secondary sources, namely, published research referring to their cases. Those research documents were identified by successively searching the Scopus database, the Google Scholar database and the Web of Science. Findings The existence of formal e-government strategies and plans and the capacity to implement them can make a difference, allowing countries to achieve better results than expected or, in their absence, to perform worse than expected. Research limitations/implications The proposed methodology can be useful to e-government researchers, particularly as a basis for deeper and more detailed studies. Practical implications Countries should invest in well-developed and focused strategies and continuity of public policies and their capacity to deliver results. For that purpose, political commitment and high-level coordination are key factors. For low-income countries, long-lasting cooperation with external experienced partners is crucial. For high-income countries, innovative thinking is a key enabler. Originality/value This study uses an innovative method to look beyond the effect of the relative wealth of countries and investigate the relevance of public policies for e-government development.
