Transformative e-Government and Innovation: Creating a Better Future for All

Overview of the Theme The 2013 United Nations Forum comes at a time when citizens the world over are demanding better governance, greater participation in public affairs and enhanced integrity and accountability of public leaders. It is a time when it is critical that governments take stock of how efficiently and equitably they deliver services to citizens, and reflect on what can be done better to ensure that citizens have access to quality services and can enjoy a good standard of living.

The theme of the 2013 United Nations Public Service Forum is on “Transformative E-Government and Innovation: Creating a Better Future for All”. Transforming governments by leveraging the potential of ICT and by promoting innovative solutions to governance challenges is a timely theme and a priority concern of many countries from around the globe. The role of effective, capable and responsive governments has never been more important than it is today to the wellbeing and prosperity of our societies. On the one hand, governments are faced with an increase in citizens’ demands for (a) effective, equitable and citizen- centric services (including security, education, health, justice, shelter, sanitation); (b) greater levels of transparency and accountability of what government does, especially in times of scarce resources, and (c) greater citizen engagement in public decision-making processes. On the other hand, governments are faced with a rising set of domestic as well as international challenges. At the domestic level, countries must tackle multiple crises, including the economic crisis, climate change, natural disasters, food and water shortages, expansive waves of international migration with over 200 million people living outside of their country of birth, and, in some cases, intra-State conflicts. At the international level, governments must deal effectively with globalization processes, including the financial crisis, which has both international and domestic components, and issues related to international peace and security.

The challenges that the governments are facing at the beginning of the 21st Century require a holistic approach to transformation and innovation in public governance. This, in turn, requires that governments become catalysts for change instead of mere service providers; facilitate networked co-responsibility among stakeholders by engaging and empowering communities to take part in finding the solutions to their problems; allow for a competitive rather than monopolistic approach to provision of goods and services; become entrepreneurial in generating revenues and promoting partnerships; are results-oriented and customer-driven, pro-active instead of reactive (anticipating problems and acting 9 2013 UNITED NATIONS PUBLIC SERVICE forum 10 day and aWARDS CEREMONY information and communication technology, and relying on strategic partnerships. strategic on relying and technology, communication and information of possible, whenever use, making practices, and ideas innovative developed have delivery service effective and equitable providing in and accountability, and transparency promoting in progress have made that governments that help build endogenous capacity in this area. this in capacity endogenous build help can that tools and mechanisms are there to innovation, recipes all” fits “one-size goals. development to societal relation in transformation of degrees and quality of terms in measured and defined be can innovation sense, aspirations. and needs to citizens’ respond to better government transform I manner. equitable and inclusive an in less with more to do how on ideas creative more as well as initiatives, public of sustainability greater and ownership of sense increased an is there delivery, service in and processes decision-making public in involved are citizens Where delivered. and managed conceptualized, being are services how in ashift we witness globe the of corners all in today “solutions”, of providers main the were governments and services of receivers passive as seen were citizens past the in Whereas services. delivering and citizens ways to engaging new of to adapt way operate they the to transform governance. to good contributing in play can sector private the and society civil that role the about shift paradigm astrong is challenges. national and local to solve governments their with manner aconstructive in together by working solution the of part be actively can who change of agents be should and can they that but stakeholders, or services public of “customers” just not are sector private the and society civil that I processes. and frameworks institutional functions, role, government’s of atransformation fundamentally more but governance, public in practices innovative of implementation and design the only not entails change transformative of kind This knowledge. of and technology communication and by information afforded opportunities of use full make conflict);

Promoting Collaborative e-Governance through Innovation and ICTs

BACKGROUND This Workshop is organised by the E-Government Branch of the Division for Public Administration and Development Management (DPADM) of UNDESA. It will provide a platform for senior level officials from the Arab region and across the world, to discuss 21st century trends and challenges in E-Government. The workshop will aim to provide policy options on how governments can tackle multi- faceted and complex issues and provide better public services to their citizens through collaborative governance systems in an open and participatory manner.

OB JECTIves The main objectives will be to (i) share experiences and lessons learned, (ii) debate emerging issues of E-Government development as defined in UNDESA’s flagship publication titled UN E-Government Survey 2012 which focused on whole of government approaches (iii) discuss the predominant institutional framework models, and (iv) provide recommendations on institutional capacity building for E-Government officials to respond to an ever changing and challenging environment of innovations in technology. In this regard, the workshop will focus on two inter-linking issues: (i) the challenges and opportunities of whole of government collaborative approaches and (ii) the challenges of public administration across the world to increase their level of interoperability by leveraging on new technologies and innovation.

EXTD PEC E RESULTS • increased understanding of collaboprative governance and models of institutional frameworks • knowledge sharing about whole of government innovative approaches • enhanced learning and networking opportunities • recommendations on how to promote collaborative governance through innovation and ICTs

EXR PE T GROUP MEETING: TRANSFORMATIVE E-GOVERNMENT AND INNOVATION: CREATING A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL

BACKGROUND The move towards a more citizen-centric approach entails improving online public service delivery through better use of ICT tools towards promoting the digitalization of the public sector, enabling better access to electronic services, including mobile delivery, and making self-service solutions through electronic and mobile services an opportunity for all. In this context, DPADM is developing a Self-Assessment E-Government Toolkit for the use of all UN Member States to be made available online for maximum global outreach. The purpose of the Toolkit is to help Member States (a) self-identify the steps they need to take to enhance their E-Government and hence to transform their government so as that it is more efficient, effective, transparent and open, accountable, participatory and citizen- centric, and (b) provide guidance on how to effectively design and implement an e-governance strategy and roadmap to promote economic, social and sustainable development through progress in key e-governance areas.

OB JECTIves This Expert Group Meeting is organised by the E-Government Branch of DPADM/ UNDESA. The purpose of the EGM is to provide a forum for discussion to allow the experts to:

• exchange views on emerging trends and issues related to the theme of the meeting; • Provide advice and recommendations for DPADM on the formulation of a self-assessment Toolkit on how governments can enhance their e-governance, including recommendations on the key components and questions to be included in the toolkit; • share experiences and lessons learnt from the development of previous toolkits, including how to engage governments in the design and use of a toolkit.

p e d Workshop 2

Transfer and adaptation of innovative practices for improved public service delivery in Least Developed Countries (LDCs)

BACKGROUND The access to and quality of public service delivery is critical to the development of any country, including in the context of implementing the Internationally Agreed Development Goals (IADGs), particularly the MDGs. It is Governments who are entrusted with the responsibility to deliver quality services equitably. If they lack the capacity to do so, the attainment of the MDGs, especially in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), is unlikely, with significantly fewer resources to ensure sustained improvements in service delivery.

To promote greater and more equitable access to quality services, LDCs need to strengthen their institutional and human capacities to manage, implement, monitor, and evaluate the delivery of services in an innovative, transparent and inclusive manner. Learning and adapting successful initiatives from other countries’ experiences can considerably save resources and time, inspire new reforms, and in some cases help countries to leapfrog stages of development.

OB JECTIves The main objective of the Workshop is to facilitate the transfer of innovations, identified by LDCs that use collaborative governance methods at any level of government to deliver services that help achieve MDGs.

EXTD PEC E RESULTS I t is anticipated that the workshop will be instrumental for establishing immediate connections between innovators and adaptors in LDCs that can be built on to promote, in a concrete way, peer-to-peer exchange programmes and field visits planned for the next phase of a UNDESA project, which aims to foster innovation in LDCs. Additionally, the workshop will assist to identify and strengthen cooperative relationships between actors from the public sector, civil society, and the private sector, already engaged in the development frameworks of LDCs (such as regional and country networks for cross-country and cross-continental learning about innovations in public administration). It will bring about opportunities for collaboration and mobilisation of required resources with local and regional actors in the public and private sectors, as well as civil society (to promote collaborative governance approaches) and with countries that have introduced significant innovations.

FOS TEring PARTICIPATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND This workshop is being organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) in partnership with the Development Management Branch of DPADM/UNDESA.

The Workshop on “Fostering Participation in the Context of The Post-2015 Development Agenda” will explore the challenges, trends, innovative practices, and capacity development tools to foster participation for accelerating the achievement of the millennium development goals in the last 1,000 days to the target date. The goal of the Workshop is to enhance knowledge and build a shared understanding among governance actors of what strategies, practices and tools Member States can adopt to conduct a self-assessment with respect to the engagement of citizens in managing development in their respective countries. These tools will also assist in fostering participation to meet the challenges of sustainable development in the post 2015 context: eradicating inequalities, extreme poverty and disparities between and within countries – especially between urban and rural areas – addressing the needs of the poorest and most marginalized, minorities, women and girls, improving food security, maternal health, sanitation, rural development, environmental sustainability and responses to climate change. To this end, the UN Secretariat has developed a citizen engagement self-assessment questionnaire (CESAQ) that will be shared with participants. The Workshop will also provide ample time for exchanging ideas, experiences and lessons learned on participatory governance and citizen engagement in development management with a particular focus on the Arab region.

Key lessons learned will be reflected in a set of recommendations, which will be presented in the concluding plenary session on the last day of the Forum.

Tansr forming Public Service Delivery to Advance Gender Equality

BACKGROUND Governments, national governments and donors are accountable for implementing their commitments to gender equality and women’s rights and for securing the financial resources needed for this purpose. However, gender equality as a development priority is often absent from development and aid management processes and instruments and evidence continues to point to significant gaps and obstacles to women and girls’ access to public services1. Where this access exists, quality is often lacking. In conflict and post conflict contexts, the challenges facing equitable public service delivery are even greater. In responding to these issues, a number of countries have introduced innovative measures some of which will be recognized and discussed at this Forum.

In addition, approaches to mainstream gender in governments’ plans, budgets and performance monitoring systems will be examined in light of their potential to address structural gender inequalities and durably transform public service delivery. One of these approaches, Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB), is increasingly adopted by governments around the world with 65 countries reporting work in this area in 2011. At the national level, GRB initiatives have collaborated with Ministries of Finance to mainstream gender in budget reform processes and systems; supported sector ministries to ensure that their plans and budgets facilitate the implementation of programmes that address women’s needs; built capacity of public institutions in gender responsive planning and budgeting; and supported mechanisms for monitoring and tracking financing for gender equality within and outside governments. At the local level, GRB work has sought to improve women’s access to resources and services through strengthened capacities of local authorities to design and implement gender responsive plans and programmes. At the global level, efforts have been made to engage donors with a view to making aid more responsive to gender equality priorities.

In a context where austerity measures, conflict and development challenges of various natures threaten to stall or reverse progress on gender equality, it is more important than ever to safeguard investment in gender equality, enhance efforts in promoting gender responsive service delivery, and strengthen accountability and capacity for implementing gender equality commitments.

L eADERSHIP for Transformational Government

Background This session will examine the role of leadership in transformational government. Panelists will relate their narratives of successful leadership for effectively implementing government strategies and development policies through an inclusive, consultative, empowering and enabling process that focusses not only on people development but also on structural change mechanisms to institutionalize leadership and make government transformational.

The presentations will put a special emphasis on the impact that political leadership has on community capacity development. In furthering transformational government, the Workshop will illustrate how national and local political leaders influence the dynamics between the various stakeholders in the State/Community and how these interactions ultimately affect the overall direction of a country, community and it’snational development.

For transformational government to become a reality, i.e. inclusive, self-regulating, centrally flexible and locally resilient, a new breed of leadership is required, one that can operate through E-Governance to engage a variety of stakeholders. This new breed of leaders quickly build social capital despite the generally negative perception of politics and political elites; they systematically harness the goodwill of stakeholders and foster conditions under which people can work together; create new visions, productively deal with underlying issues, generate fresh insights and change cultures.

O bJECTIVES • Reach a common understanding of leadership for transformational government in the context of the Arab/Middle Eastern region and develop agreed upon programming concepts and strategies through different practical methodologies. • Relate successful government strategies for enacting the transformational government, both centrally and locally; • Identify possible “missing links” between evidence and action for change. • Steps towards operationalizing strategies and support

C oOPERATION Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) Initiatives Towards eGovernment and Sustainable Public Services

BACKGROUND The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) was formed in 1981 in an aim to create economic, scientific and business cooperation among its members. Such cooperation is also concrete in the eGovernment and public services and thus the group countries. Luckily, Gulf countries have uniformed egovernment strategy guidelines and common level of awareness among GCC citizens about eGovernment services. Most recently GGC countries have enjoyed high ranking in the UN eGovernment Readiness Index as a result of advancements in eGoverment initiatives.

OBJECTIVES Being held on the sidelines of the United Service Public Service Day 2013, the workshop will gather GCC eGovernment leaders and will be attended by international delegates, a number of objectives are sought, including: (i) Share regional experiences and successful stories with other countries, (i) Showcase the best initiatives adopted in the GCC countries based on UN eGovernment Survey 2012 that focused on whole of government approach (iii) Discuss emerging issues with GCC eGovernment leaders (iv) Provide a model regional experience for other countries for the benefit of all. .

EXPECTED RESULTS The concrete outcomes are expected from the workshop:

The workshop will enrich the UNPSF and provide an opportunity to showcase the unique initiatives within the GCC countries related to eGovernment and Public service.

The workshop provides an open and interactive discussion platform involving the leaders of GCC eGovernments to exchange ideas related to the eGovernment integrated projects and outlook for future GCC joint projects.

Most importantly the workshop is to share successful projects with the other countries in order to benefit from the experiences and achievements of the block.

E sSENTIAL Leadership Capacities and Actions for Transformational Government

BACKGROUND The United Nations Project Office on Governance (UNPOG), which is managed by the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Public Administration and Development Management, will organise the Special Meeting on “Essential Leadership Capacities and Actions for Transformational Government” on Friday, 28 June 2013.

Various researchers have shown that early E-Government initiatives did not meet diverse expectations of citizens fully because governments tried to simply focus on automation of services, not making enough efforts of providing sharply tailored services for satisfying citizen’s needs. Citizens now demand more comprehensive and encompassing services from their governments because various governmental programmes are intertwined to each other and, in most cases, disjoined institutions cannot provide full-fledged information for service users. Today effective public administration requires a whole-of-government approach which should ensure horizontal and vertical collaboration among various governmental agencies, going beyond the mere creation of a website.

Several UN publications also indicate that the role of E-Government should be more proactive. In particular, according to “The Role of Responsive and Accountable Public Governance in Achieving the Millennium Development Goals and the Post-2015 Development Agenda”, prepared by the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration 2013, functions of E-Government have been transformed from making government data or services available online to more actively availing all-encompassing and across-the-board data so that citizens can have easy access to needed information. In so doing, government’s ICT-utilised services have became more joined up and connected to better address user’s diverse needs. This new trend of E-Government has become popularly known as “transformational government” or “t-Government”.

Like E-Government, successful implementation of t-Government is influenced by social, political, and economic factors of countries such as their legal and public administration system, digital divide, leadership, human capital, development level of information infrastructure and so on. Among all these factors, the role of leadership needs to be closely examined because leaders’ vision and commitment, as overarching drivers for change and innovation, are essential to the success of t-Government. In line with this, UNPOG will hold the Special Meeting on the subject of “Essential Leadership Capacities and Actions for 93 2013 UNITED NATIONS PUBLIC SERVICE forum 94 day and aWARDS CEREMONY • • • and capacities leadership key essential about • recommendations/guidelines of et • RESULTS EXPECTED 2013.

Bh a rain National Theatre

T he Bahrain National Theatre is already hailed as the third biggest in the Arab World, ranked after the Opera House in Egypt and Al-Sultania Opera in Oman. The plans for the National Theatre of Bahrain have been in the works for almost a decade, the main auditorium seats 1,001 spectators. Additionally, a flexible auditorium will hold an extra 150 seats as well as an exhibition area. H.E Shaikha Mai explained that the ‘1,001’ seats is a reference to the famous literary classic set in Arabia, “Thousand and One Nights”.

Representatives from the Architecture-Studio Paris, the main consultants for the National Theatre Project later explained the concept behind the design of the structure. Renowned typographer, graphic designer, researcher and writer Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFares designed the logo of the theatre. The project also features a parking capable of accommodating 290 cars, north of the Bahrain National Museum Lake.

The Bahrain National Theatre is designed to be at the meeting point between the land and the sea. The golden shell is anchored in the earth, while the light canopy is floating over the water.
