Sobre el sitio cosas que pueden estar util para quien se interessa a
E-gobierno.
Un concurso de fracasos esta tambien algo por lo cual todos paises pueden
tener grandes esperanzas.
Michel

Nota de la moderaci�n: :-) . La idea de los "worst cases" o "failure
stories" nos
parece a la vez deliciosa y muy inteligente. Pues, se aprende mas de las
derrotas
que de los �xitos... y por muchas raz�nes no hay la sistematizaci�n debida
de esos
procesos de aprendisaje. Congratulations Mr. Heeks!

Aprovecho para recomendar la lectura de un articulo que tenia en la pila desde
un tiempo: "i-Development not e-development: special issue on ICTs and
development",
Richard Heeks, Journal of International Development, 14,1-11 (2002)
Un analisis del syndrome del "digital divide" muy parecida a la que
compartemos aqui...

>
>===8<==============Original message text===============
>Dear Colleague
>
>SECOND eGOVERNMENT CASE STUDY COMPETITION: �300 Prizes
>
>Following the success of our earlier e-government for
>development case competition, we are launching a second
>competition.
>
>This time, we are ONLY looking for case studies of e-
>government that can be classified as 'total failure' or 'largely
>unsuccessful'. These categories were underrepresented in the
>initial competition, but can provide a very valuable learning
>resource. Both cases and author(s) can be made anonymous to
>protect identities.
>
>I would like to invite you to submit an e-government case
>study of this type from a developing or transitional country.
>The required format is given at the end of this message, or you
>can submit online via Web page:
>www.egov4dev.org/casestudy1.htm
>
>To provide some incentive/reward for efforts, those cases
>submitted by November 10 will be judged on the basis of their
>learning/knowledge-building value, and the authors of the top
>three cases will each receive a �300 payment.
>
>Note that e-government cases must involve a public sector
>organisation as at least one of the users, owners or funders of
>an ICT-based system.
>
>If you have any questions about the competition or case
>formats, do please contact me. You can find examples of
>existing cases at: www.egov4dev.org/topic1cases.htm
