I don't know whether I am going to be able to make this, but the whole issue
of public and private and the sequencing seems to me enormously important

Dear all
Please note the following:-
Subhash Bhatnagar

E-government Advisor, World Bank, Washington D.C.
One stop shop for electronic delivery of services: role of Public Private
Partnership
Wednesday 8th June 2005
15:00-17:00
Studio Ciborra
The seminar will discuss the emergence of one-stop electronic delivery
centers for Government services in developing countries as an alternative to
delivery of services through Portals.
The experience of two States in India - one pertaining to delivery of
multiple services through integrated service centers to urban populations
and the second for rural populations delivered through kiosks will be
shared. These applications, built through PPP have become popular and
economically viable. They overcome many of the problems that existed in the
earlier delivery systems.
The critical role of the private sector in scaling up such applications and
the key issues that need to be resolved in developing public private
partnerships will be discussed.
Subhash Bhatnagar divides his time between research and teaching at the
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) and as an e-government
advisor with the World Bank in Washington DC. He advises World Bank client
countries on E-government strategies and responsible for mainstreaming
E-Government applications in the activities of the Bank. As a tenured
professor at IIMA from 1975 to 2003, he held various positions: CMC Chair
Professorship in Information Technology; member board of governors and Dean.
He also co-ordinated two of IIMA's externally funded research centres:
Telecom Policy Study Centre and the Center of Electronic Governance. His
current interests are in E-Government and ICT for rural development. He has
published over a hundred articles and 8 books including a book on ICT and
Development: Cases from India and a recent book on E-Government: from vision
to implementation. He founded a Working Group in International Federation of
Information Processing called Social Implications of Computers in Developing
Countries which he chaired from 1989-95. He was the chief editor of the
international Journal on IT and Development and is on the editorial boards
of many journals.
Places will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Registration is
not required.
Refreshments will be available after the seminar.
