E-government in northern Africa countries : ranking and performance evaluation through the last three sessions 2016, 2018, 2020

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the Northern Africa countries performance through their rankings in E-government adoption among the 193 United Nation Member States during the last three sessions 2016-2018-2020; according to UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs; and assesses their e-government readiness.

The findings reveal that most Northern Africa countries are still ranked under the world average and too much far from world leaders; all of them are in the late 50 percentile of the ranking; except for Tunisia which stands on the top Northern Africa ranks with high EGDI and EPI Levels.

However, this bad ranking does not mean that they have not achieved any positive progress in e-government implementation.
