About<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 17th edition of the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance \u2013 ICEGOV 2024 had South Africa as the host country, with the city of Pretoria setting itself up to be the hotspot of Digital Governance between 1-4 October 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s theme focused on \u201cTrust and Ethical Digital Governance for the World We
Want.\u201d Citizen-centric values such as inclusion, participation, engagement, and transparency in government should be at the forefront when it comes to digital governance initiatives. In a networked, globalised, and increasingly data-driven world, in which democracies are put to the test, digital governance continues to play an important role. Citizen-centricity has proven difficult to achieve in practice, and there are challenges and limitations to reaching more democratic, equitable, and inclusive societies through digital governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
