MuNet e-Government Publication


The Secretariat for Political Affairs (SPA) has developed the following material for the purpose of illustrating the potential impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) with regard to the levels of transparency and efficacy with which municipalities operate. As a part of SPA, the MuNet e-Government initiative has developed this material to present an overview of some of the experiences within the region.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the collaboration of all of the municipalities that submitted to us the crucial information that we are now able to share with you by virtue of this publication. We are confident that this will be of great use to all municipalities of the Americas.
