NDLI: External Barriers to E-government

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	While there are few legislative and regulatory barriers to e-government in Norway, the OECD survey of Norway indicates budgetary barriers as the single most important barrier to the use of ICT in government. Norway has succeeded in providing a legal framework for e-government by reviewing and amending laws and regulations which impeded e-government and ensured privacy protection. Lack of funds and long term and joint funding mechanisms have been identified as the biggest budgetary barriers. However, in light of the existing flexibility within the Norwegian budgetary mechanisms, the problem does not seem to be the lack of budget mechanisms but rather lack of collaboration and inexperience with using business cases and other budgetary justification within ministries. The digital divide does not represent a major barrier to e-government development in Norway.
