Two decades ago, most of the Sub-Saharan African countries joined the rest of the world in adopting ICTs to improve the delivery of government services.

Yet, progress in e-gov development in these countries has been relatively slow comparing to other regions of the world [19].

This concept is applicable to other Sub-Saharan African countries which have similar organizational challenges.
