The School on Electronic Governance will be organized as the twelfth in a series of schools under the UNU-IIST's UNeGov.net initiative.

The primary purpose of the School is to provide participants with a good understanding of Electronic Governance. Specifically, the School will teach how to carry out strategic planning and develop both organizational and technical structures for Electronic Governance. The school will also provide a medium for international and local experience sharing on e-Government development in general and within the framework of the UNeGov.net Community of Practice in particular.
