Although the evidence is limited, various estimates from surveys of government officials, audit reports, and country cases suggest that about 20 percent of e-government projects are successes and about 50 percent are partial failures. #digitaldevMOOC
FACT: Governments are more intensive users of information technology than firms. #digitaldevMOOC Very Interesting!!!
This #misalignment between digital #technologies and weak or unaccountable institutions create the twin risks of increasing #elite control and wasting #scarce public resources on ineffective #e-government projects. #digitaldevMOOC
Our Governments are going to have to start to intervene in the marketplace, to demand well engineered products and services, so that they can ensure safety...this could mean introducing product liability into the overall marketplace for these ICTs Melissa Hathaway #DigitalDevMOOC
A #CyberReadiness Index can help countries think through different policies and capabilities, diagnose current baseline capability, and project where they need to be, based on their #digital agenda and #cybersecurity & infra resilience needs Melissa Hathaway #DigitalDevMOOC
#Digital technologies generate new #opportunities for employment and #earnings, but also risks. A major risk is related to the speed of #labor #market change and the #destruction of jobs. #digitaldevMOOC
The new economy offers a #premium for ICT skills, strong foundational cognitive and #socio-emotional skills, and for more #advanced non-routine 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, complex #problem-solving, #creativity, and expert #communication. #digitaldevMOOC
The aggregate effects of digital #technologies on #opportunities are mediated through creating #jobs, benefiting consumers and increasing worker #productivity. #digitaldevMOOC
Despite the rapid spread of digital #technologies, more than 800 million people lack #mobile access worldwide, and more than 4 billion lack #Internet access! More can be done to curb down these number. #DigitalDevMOOC
An important role for universal affordable and safe internet in this revolution. #opendata is simply not possible without the internet. #bigdata conceptually could be, but its benefits would be substantially reduced & they wouldn't have much value Amparo Ballivián #DigitalDevMOOC
#BigData and #OpenData are related in theory, though not so much in practice. One reason is that, the ownership of big data is often private Amparo Ballivián #DigitalDevMOOC
#digitaldevmooc #Nigeria keep loosing out on revenues and #Governance4Dev realization in creating jobs.https://t.co/dEerk7Tjzs
#digitalhealth overcomes geographic, infrastructure, and administrative bottlenecks to information and communication in emergencies like disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and conflict #digitaldevMOOC
"The policy goal is to use #technology in strategic ways to strengthen #institutions. Rather than waiting for strong institutions to emerge, reformers can assess the unique opportunities to use technology as a catalyst for broader change." #DigitalDevMOOC @davenportsteve
In Africa, 7 in 10 people who do not use the internet say they just don’t know how to use it, and almost 4 in 10 say they do not know what the
internet is. #WDR2016 #DigitalDevMOOC
