E-Government Practices Exchange Forum Stage 2

With funding from the U.S. State Department, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations implemented an exchange project that provides a forum for representatives of municipal governments to share experience in using e-government to communicate with citizens and coordinate delivery of services. The second stage brought four mainland Chinese and four Taiwan information officers and specialists to Washington, D.C., Tampa, and Seattle for a study tour that gave the participants a closer look at e-government practices in American cities, particularly e-government’s potential for provision of social services and promotion of economic development. The third stage of the project shared the lessons learned with a wider audience, through the preparation and dissemination of an article co-authored by a representative from each of the three jurisdictions.
