Abstract | As E-government has been referred to as the use of ICTs to transform government by making it more accessible, effective and accountable, the Nepal government has taken some positive initiatives for its development. However, according to the UN evaluation, the current E-government level in Nepal is still very poor. This paper raised two research questions: what the major problems of E-government implementation in Nepal are and which problem(s) should be solved first. For this purpose, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to rank the problems in hierarchical order. This study finds that among the various problems of E-government implementation in Nepal, a lack of strong leadership and government will, political-administrative instability, and resistance to change within organizations were again highlighted as the most severe ones by experts. |
