Inshah Yasin, Mir Junaid Alam

Abstract: The use and application of Information and Communication technology has grown at an unparalleled rate in recent decades. The contemporary, computerized environment has radically altered how individuals live and interact with government. It has evolved into a very effective tool capable of transforming the whole governance process into one based on accountability, responsibility, and openness. As a result, there is a higher chance that there will be real progress and development as it gives more opportunity to people to participate in governance at all levels. The transformation in governance has sown its seeds but, in the race of implementing the digital initiatives, developing countries face many challenges. A major challenge for developing nations is determining how to harness the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve governments' abilities to rule, service their citizens, and, eventually, improve their people's human development circumstances. In this research paper, the researchers examined the concept of governance, its changing dimensions, and its progression towards good governance as a result of Information Communication and Technology (ICT). The paper also highlighted the strategies and concerns of digital transformation in developing countries and drafted some of the Key Focus Areas for effective and actual implementation of electronic governance.
