This column describes the nature and purpose of the Commonwealth Centre. As Chief Executive of this Centre I thought that readers of the Riley Report might be interested in this development as the Centre will be dealing with many of the issues addressed in the Riley Report columns. CCEG is a legal entity incorporated in the United Kingdom and Canada in November 2000. It operates on a global scale, with a board of Directors and Advisory Council from around the world.
Members come from government, the private sector and civil society.
Riley Information Services Inc. The purpose of the Commonwealth Centre for Electronic Governance is to provide insight and knowledge on the changing nature of governments in our growing technology infrastructures. The CCEG is working to develop sets of best practices on how best to use technologies to implement the goals and objectives of public administration. CCEG hopes to be able to contribute to developments in these subjects in both a theoretical and practical manner. Part of CCEG s mandate is to offer workshops and seminars in developing countries throughout the world on various aspects of e-Government. Much of the focus of CCEG will be on the multitude of information and administrative policies that will be needed as developing countries increasingly implement new technologies.
