Dice sobre Sudamerica y CentroAmerica

>(...) "Most countries of South and Central America made steady progress in
>2004 and either maintained their relative positions in the global rankings
>or improved them. Around one third did not.
>
>Compared to the rest of the world, countries such as Chile, Mexico, Peru
>and Argentina had the same relative world ranking in 2004 as in 2003.
>Others, such as Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, Uruguay and Brazil
>improved. Suriname joined the league of countries offering e-government
>services. The regional e-government readiness mean was 0.446, which was
>above the world average reflecting progress, consolidation and
>improvements in e-government programs of several countries in the region.
>
>Chile (0.684) was the regional leader followed by Mexico (0.596);
>Argentina (0.587) and Brazil (0.568). Chile, which was 22nd in 2004, was
>also the only South & Central American country to make it to the global top 25.
>
>Leading an emerging trend in Latin America to make internet resources more
>citizen-oriented, Chile exemplifies "one stop shopping"
>http://www.gobiernodechile.cl which provides citizens with direct access
>to a variety of online services (see box).
>
>Chile is also one of the only Latin American countries with fully
>functional website resources for English speakers
>http://www.chileangovernment.cl/). Chile's online egovernment offerings
>rank among the worlds best practice models
>because they not only provide a variety of citizen services and
>information, but do so in a user-friendly fashion that encourages citizen use.
>
>In South and Central America, the greatest improvement was made by
>Venezuela (0.489) in the past year which was reflected in the jump from
>93rd position in 2003 to 56th in 2004. A new national web portal was
>established in 2004 http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve. A strong commitment to
>education is reflected in vast improvements in its education online
>services http://www.me.gov.ve which now rival those in the top 20 in the
>world. In addition to basic information the
>government offers interactive features such as user registration
>capability, a poll and open discussion forum, and a clear statement/policy
>encouraging public participation in education policy development.
>
>Colombia offered one of the most improved sites in the region
>http://www.gobiernoenlinea.gov.co for a one stop-shop e-government portal.
>Honduras made strides this past year advancing to 113th in 2004. Whereas
>in 2003 only the national site and one ministry were fully functional in
>Honduras this was expanded in 2004 as evidenced by their e-government
>online initiatives. Most impressive was the provision of education sector
>services to the citizen ( http://www.se.gob.hn ), where in addition to
>extensive information the user can find user-registration, a poll, an open
>ended discussion forum as well as a
>policy or statement encouraging participation. An example of an innovative
>exercise in education is the interactive map feature that shows where the
>schools are located in the country. Brazil has also made great
>improvements in its online services for the public. A one-stop-shop
>http://www.e.gov.br offers a good model for countries of the region. It is
>accompanied with an
>extensive e-procurement portal at http://www.comprasnet.gov.br.
>
>Despite progress in the region, several countries in South and Central
>America remain at the initial few stages of developing their e-government
>programs with limited information on official websites and no links to
>Ministries where sectoral
>information could be available." (...)
>
>Sobre el Caribe
>
>"Countries of the Caribbean region continued to occupy ranks within the
>59-120 range which placed them about average in the global rankings. A few
>countries among the top improved their positions marginally. Half of the
>countries of the region were above the world average. Jamaica (0.479) is
>the regional leader in the Caribbean followed by Trinidad and Tobago
>(0.467) and the Bahamas (0.465). While being placed in the bottom half of
>the rankings, Barbados http://www.barbados.gov.bb made the most
>significant improvements from 2003 to 2004 jumping 11 positions in the
>global rankings. Efforts at consolidation were
>reflected in the national site, which now provides several Stage II
>features including a government officials contact directory and various
>online forms for downloading in PDF format. The highlight, however, was
>the fact that Barbados offers a transactional presence albeit through the
>post office which is quite a feat for low scoring country. It is
>indicative of the commitment to e-services online in the country and bodes
>well for the future of e-government. Barbados exemplifies what countries
>can do even with limited resources." (...)
