Abstract	E-Government, considered to be a narrower concept than e-Governance, offers a great potential and opportunity for developing countries to improve their governance and citizen satisfaction. E-Government reduces costs, increases transparency and citizen participation in decision-making processes, strengthens accountability, improves service delivery, etc. In the process of setting up e-Government initiatives and to become successful, there are some prime issues for developing countries to assess and to research. In developing nations where capital is a major scarcity, failing to be successful in the implementation of information communication technology (ICT) initiatives can have a great impact. In case of faller, the leadership commitment, which is already low in some countries, could be greatly affected. This will cause major obstacles to get some other ICT project's approved. ICT is a capital intensive (for example in infrastructure and application development) and requires qualified human resources. Apart from this, the globalization and dynamism associated with the field are making the realization of e-Government in particular in developing countries more challenging. Implementing e-Government principles and functions require a range of standards, guidelines, rules, policies and legislative changes which do not exist in most developing countries. These all add up to the challenges in e-Government implementation. The following are also potential threats in implementing e-Government: low level working culture, high resistance, weak private sector, low level collaboration/partnership between private and public sectors, etc. In this case study, I will assess the potential of e-Government projects and initiatives for developing countries by taking the case of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. The opportunities will be widely discussed by taking practical examples. I will also identify and analyze major challenges that may be encountered in implementing e-Government initiatives based on my practical experience in Ethiopia.
