The session will in essence focus on Electronic Governance business process re-engineering, capacity building initiatives and change management strategies carried out by different countries in Central, South and South-East Asia. A major objective is to identify common challenges in the region and share experiences on how some of these challenges are being addressed or could be addressed more effectively.

The panelists will highlight best practices and specifically focus on the factors deemed most important for encouraging, adopting and implementing e-Governance efforts in India, Indonesia, Bhutan and Armenia. In addition, the elusive question of human capacity building will be deliberated on by sharing of experiences each country has in building in-depth skills at various levels of government.
