West Bank and Gaza
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is in the
early phase of its e‐government journey and aims to utilize
ICT to deliver services to its citizens and businesses to
improve social well‐being and facilitate economic
development. The PA aims to serve 12.1 million Palestinians
in the West Bank (2.7 million), the Gaza Strip (1.7
million), and the remaining 7.7 million Palestinians who are
dispersed among 28 different countries. Many Palestinians
are refugees, including more than one million in the Gaza
Strip, 750,000 in the West Bank, and about 250,000 in
Israel. Of the Palestinian population residing abroad,
otherwise known as the Palestinian diaspora, more than half
are considered stateless, lacking citizenship in any
country. The combination of the ongoing Israeli‐Palestinian
conflict as well as the diaspora situation makes
implementation of e‐government projects in the West Bank and
Gaza (WBG) unique and complex. A review of e‐government
documentation and stakeholder interviews reveals that the PA
has made reasonable progress on e‐government amidst a
challenging environment, but it is still in the nascent
phase in terms of delivering benefits to its constituents.
There are numerous challenges for the successful
implementation of e‐government, including geopolitical
conflict, insufficient legislation to facilitate electronic
transactions, limited budget to support e‐government
projects, inadequate policies and standards, and limited
capacity within the e‐government unit under the Ministry of
Telecommunications and Information Technology (MTIT). The PA
is at a key moment in its e‐government journey. It is an
opportunistic time to drive modernization of its public
administration and public service delivery through use of
ICT, offer better services to citizens, and promote economic growth.
