E-Governance
E-governance is a development, deployment, and enforcement of the policies, laws, and regulations necessary for developing cooperation, networking and partnerships between government units, citizens and the business.
E-government
E-government specifically refers to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to transform and improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of government processes and service delivery.
Comparison between E-government and E-governance
- E-government is a system whereas E-governance is a functionality.
- E-government means the application of ICT in government operations, as a tool to make better government. E-governance, on the other hand, implies the use of ICT in transforming and supporting functions and structures of the system.
- It is a one-way protocol but E-governance is a two-way protocol(government to citizen and vice versa)
- E-governance is the part of E-government. E-governance never comes alone.
