Zanzibar Readiness Towards e-Government
Abstract
E-government is an expedient tool to overcome social economic challenges.
Being in an initial phase of e-government introduction, Zanzibar has to include the use of ICT
in its policy documents such as vision 2020 and MKUZA II. In particular, Zanzibar has established a
communication infrastructure and a department to implement e-government activities. This paper analyses
the readiness of Zanzibar towards e-government implementation. We do a SWOT analysis to identify the
government acceptance of e-government implementation. We identify the major strengths for a successful
implementation. A major threat however the technological evolution may be resistant to the majority.
Therefore the government should take action by giving clear understanding of the ICT technology to the community.
Keywords: Tanzania, Zanzibar, e-government, SWOT analysis.
