The Barriers to eGovernment project team has identified seven key categories of barriers that can block or constrain progress on eGovernment and eight legal foundations that underpin these barriers. The project aims to collect further information about barriers relating to eGovernment from stakeholders. The inventory enables those interested in eGovernment to share experiences and ideas with others working in this area and ensure the research team considers all the key barriers to eGovernment within the project by contributing to the online forum.
