>SOUTH ASIA WORST GOVERNED IN THE WORLD: In 1999, Mahbub Ul Haque Human
>Development Center in Pakistan, prepared a report
>((http://www.undp.org.np/news/dec3.htm) that underscores the crisis of
>Governance as the main source of an inefficient and inequitable deployment
>of resources and crippling debt burdens to this region. 'South Asian
>systems of Governance are increasingly becoming unresponsive and irrelevant
>to the needs and concerns of the vast majority of region's population'. The
>report says, "With life so insecure and liberty so vulnerable, South Asia
>is in need of a new compact between people and the state...". We brought
>out this issue keeping in mind these realities and wanted to explore the
>possibilities and the prospects of implementing an ICT based governance
>mechanism. Eventually we focused a lot on E-governance and tried to
>identify the best practices and opinions as to how Information Technology
>can be used to bring about a radical change to this situation. Introducing
>other relevant IT practices in Government service sectors in different
>parts of South Asia, has also become a point of discussion. Hope this would
>allow us to give a fresh look to the crisis and to implement an efficient
>and participatory governance system in the region. We collected all the
>materials from different sources and the comments & the views that have
>been made are of the authors themselves, not of Bytes for All. Send in your
>comments of this issue at: [email protected]
