Electronic Government: Potential Exists for Enhancing Collaboration on Four Initiatives;Report to the Congress

摘要

In accordance with the President's management agenda, the Office of Management and Budget has sponsored initiatives to promote expansion of electronic government-the use of information technology, particularly Web-based Internet applications, to enhance government services. Each initiative demands a high degree of collaboration among organizations. For four of these initiatives, GAO was asked to determine, among other things, their implementation progress and the extent of collaboration among agencies and other parties involved. To enhance the effectiveness of their efforts at collaboration and help achieve the initiatives' goals, GAO is making recommendations to the managing partners of the four initiatives that address the specific collaboration issues revealed by the review.
