Research Title  

Redefining e-Government Success & Failure in the South African Water Sector

Research Overview  

By applying Critical Systems Heuristics through the lens of the Capabilities Approach, my research aims to determine how e-government initiatives in the South African water sector should define and measure their success and failure. It does so to respond to the 'citizens first' approach envisioned by the country's National Integrated ICT Policy White Paper, which currently offers no guidance in this regard.
