Although there are political and economic challenges in Zimbabwe, this paper argues that the Government of Zimbabwe can improve service delivery through e-Government, as there is evidence of ICT acceptance and diffusion across all sectors of the economy. The paper discusses e-government success stories in similar African countries in order to draw lessons for Zimbabwe, critically examines Zimbabwe’s potential in adopting e-Government initiatives and proposes the development and formulation of an e-Government Strategy, which will establish a roadmap of how the Zimbabwe Government will progress to a transformational model of service delivery. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
