Abstract
e-Government readiness is the measure by which a government is positioned to provide e-services to its citizens. In order to achieve e-readiness, governments must among other factors, set up efficient collaborations between government agencies. Such collaborations should take into consideration information security requirements. Our study looks at e-government readiness in three East African countries namely, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda from an Information Security perspective. Data was gathered through questionnaires and by reviewing country and regional e-government polices, as well as evaluating government agency websites. The results of the study are discussed based on findings by other researches on Information Security and or e-government in the East African region.
