Challenge of eCitizen - Promoting eGovernment Actions in European Cities
The project is designed to support local eGovernment initiatives, actions and strategies through the exchange and dissemination of information, best practices and successful technical innovations acquired in the partner cities and Europe-wide. The partners aim to enhance the capacities, management skills and technical knowledge of local policy-makers, officials and experts responsible for eGovernment actions to design, manage and evaluate local technology-based public services. This goal is supported by promoting innovative approaches in establishing partnerships between public and private sectors as well as encouraging use of electronic communication in the public sector, among citizens and businesses. Furthermore, the project aims to raise public awareness on eGovernment actions as well as encourage citizens' participation in the democratic processes through Internet.
