dc.description.abstract | This study focused on investigating whether the current state of Local Government employees '
digital literacy enables the implementation of E-governance initiatives in Uganda using a case
study of Iganga Municipality. The study was guided by the following objectives; to examine if a
relationship exists between Employees' problem solving electronic-skills and the state of
implementation of E-governance initiatives in Iganga Municipality, to assess the contribution of
Employees' information-communication electronic-skills towards the implementation of E-governance
initiatives in Iganga Municipality and finally to examine if a relationship exists
between Employees· software electronic-skills and the implementation of E-governance initiatives
among the employees in iganga municipality.
The study was based on a case study research design due to its ability to narrow down a very broad
field of research into one or a few easily re searchable examples.
The study found out that Iganga municipality had no personnel specifically employed for purposes
of ensuring that ICTs used in the offices are maintained and repaired in case of any breakdown
impacts negatively onto the implementation of E-governance initiatives in the Municipality. It \\·as
also raveled that problem solving electronic skills and infonnation-comrnunicatilll1 electronic
skills arc key in the implementation of E-governance initiatives in Uganda.
The following recommendations where made; There is need for the central government to support
local government financially in order to enable them establish office of the· head of ICT as this
would help them to continuously initiate trainings for local government employee's in different
electronic skills for example problem solving skills, infom1ation-communication skills and others.
Local government employees· should be trained in infom1ation- communication electronic skills
as these will enable them implement the e-governance initiatives with minimal huddles since the
basics required would have been attained and lastly, initiatives to provide refresher courses,
training and retraining of local government employees in software electronic skills should be
supported by the municipal administrators as this will help employees develop competences in
ICTs which would help local government implement e-governance initiatives and ensure better
service delivery to the citizens. | en_US |
