Principles of e-Democracy 

We propose these principles to serve as beacons to keep e-government activities on course toward democratic goals when intensive work and inevitable conflicts threaten to make us lose our way in the smoke of daily battles.  Some of the activities named in these principles have a logical sequence in time. while others can go on concurrently.

Study national and international experiences

Develop a strategy and priorities

Create new programs when gaps in existing ones are discovered which make it impossible to meet strategic objectives

Launch new programs with pilot projects before rolling them out

Build on existing successful programs

Integrate horizontally (at each level of government) and vertically (between levels in a federal system)

Collectivize access to the Internet for the poor

Democratize both content and access

Reform public administration

Break down silos and intermediation

Seek efficiency and efficacy

Increase transparency and attack corruption

Listen to citizens

Train  human resources for e-goverment

Communicate strategically with the public via 

Internet

Television

Radio

Newspapers and magazines

Speeches, talks and seminars

Integrate e-government with the use of "one stop shops" for government services, call centers, etc.
