Digital government center hosts officials from Kazakhstan
The National Center for Digital Government (NCDG) hosted a visiting delegation of government and technology business leaders from Kazakhstan on Sept. 26.
The visit was part of a 21-day program titled “Electronic Government for Transparency and Public Services: A Project for Kazakhstan,” and designed to introduce Kazakh leaders to e-government in the U.S. and to explore the role it plays in strengthening democratic institutions. Special emphasis was placed on transparency, efficiency, accountability, and civic participation as a result of increased use of e-government tools and applications.
NCDG arranged briefings for the delegation with researchers and others on campus with expertise in information technology and governance including the Electronic Enterprise Institute, the Open Source Computing Laboratory, the National Center for Technology and Dispute Resolution, and the Du Bois Library Learning Commons.
The program was arranged through the World Affairs Council of Western Massachusetts and the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitors Leadership Program.
NCDG is supported by the National Science Foundation and based in the Center for Public Policy and Administration and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
