The challenges arise from the multiple fronts – design / conceptualization, technological capabilities, collaboration among different public organizations, implementation capacity, sustained political support, citizen awareness and realization of benefits. The proposed track aims to improve our understanding of the above complexities and provide opportunities to learn from each other. Both conceptual and empirical papers are invited to the following broad themes:
