The objectives of the study are outlined, focusing on evaluating the impact of E-Government implementation on service delivery efficiency, citizen satisfaction, and overall governance effectiveness. The limitations and scope of the study are discussed, acknowledging the constraints and boundaries within which the research is conducted. The significance of the study is underscored, emphasizing the potential contributions to the field of public administration, policy-making, and digital governance. The structure of the thesis is outlined, providing a roadmap of the chapters and key sections to be covered in the research. The literature review delves into existing scholarship on E-Government services, highlighting best practices, case studies, and theoretical frameworks that inform the implementation and evaluation of digital government initiatives. The review covers topics such as digital transformation in public administration, citizen-centric service delivery models, data privacy and security considerations, and the role of technology in promoting transparency and accountability in governance. The research methodology chapter details the research design, data collection methods, sampling strategies, and analytical frameworks employed in the study. The methodology section outlines the steps taken to evaluate the impact of E-Government services on public service delivery through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research techniques.
