In addition, the study indicates that better alignment of national ICT strategies with various local level e\u2010government projects, clear legislation, implementation guidelines and standards are imperative for e\u2010government success.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The core contribution of this research adds to the growing body of knowledge concerning the implementation and diffusion of e\u2010government in developing countries.
