Event pictures Program Description Using case studies, the speakers will draw out key lessons from PPPs in e-Government, discussing the challenges faced, solutions developed, as well as general recommendations for designing and implementing successful PPPs. The key issues to be addressed (among others) are: Is private sector delivery in conflict with public interest? Are there any limits to outsourcing service delivery to the private sector? What are the most successful examples of PPPs in e-government? Is there a solid evidence of positive impact? Can these be easily replicated in other countries? What should governments do to ensure success of PPP approaches in e-Government? What kind of procurement system reforms may be necessary? What changes to legal framework may be necessary? Which business models have proven most successful to motivate both parties and produce best results?
The seminar participants include senior level government officials from a wide range of countries around the world, such as Russia, Armenia, India, Ghana, Rwanda, Zambia, Uganda, Kenya, Philippines, Samoa, Mongolia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Bulgaria, Barbados et al.
