The e-Government Strategy team is responsible for developing central policy and strategic direction for the e-Government programme.

Government Departments are making good progress towards the target of making all government services available electronically by 2005. This provides us with the opportunity to take a longer term view of the direction the e-government programme might take (i.e. beyond 2005).

The team is working with Departments to develop a longer term vision for the e-government programme and public services more generally and how this might be delivered.

The team led the OeE through the 2002 Spending Review and manages OeE's relationship with HM Treasury, including leading or co-ordinating roles in Capital Modernisation Fund (CMF) and Invest to Save Budget (ISB) rounds, and in the operation of the "dual key" for Electronic Service Delivery (ESD) funding. It also lead on OeE's involvement with the Cabinet sub-committee on Electronic Service Delivery - PSX(E), setting the work programme and co-ordinating briefing.

The key documents relating to e-Government strategy include:

Modernising Government White Paper March 1999

The Modernising Government White Paper was published in March 1999. It set out the government's vision for modernising public services and the government's commitment to exploit new technology to offer opportunities and choice in the delivery of public services. It also included the original target for all service to be made available electronically by 2008
(later brought forward to 2005).

e-Government: a strategic framework for public services in the Information Age

After the Knowledge economy Cabinet Meeting held on 30 March 2000, the Prime Minister announced that the target contained in the Modernising Government White Paper giving the date by which time all government services would be available electronically, be moved forward from 2008 to 2005.

The e-Government Strategic Framework, published in April 2000, required all Departments to produce e-business strategies showing how they planned to implement electronic government and service delivery taking into account technical policies, including compliance with the recommendations of Successful IT (published in May).
