A program active from 2004-2009, which was directed by co-principal investigators Dr. Daniel Mazmanian and Dr. Gregory Curtin, the Collaborative focused research on e-government, using information technology to enhance the delivery of public services and information. In addition to the activities listed below, the Collaborative also assisted and supported USC/SPPD graduate student research activities related to e-government.

E-GOVERNANCE COLLABORATIVE

This partnership brought together governments as well as experts from academia and the technology industry to explore the creation and sharing of strategies and solutions related to e-government. It sought to:

• Strengthen and facilitate e-governance research, especially around the development and sharing of technology solutions and intellectual property in the public sector;
• Develop various levels of e-training and leadership education for public sector executive and managers focusing on information, technology and communications in the public sector; and
• Provide technical assistance in the planning and implementation of e-government in the public sector.

The Collaborative was generously supported by the Microsoft Corporation.
