The advancement of technology has revolutionized the way governments interact with citizens, leading to the emergence of e-government systems as a means to enhance service delivery and efficiency in public administration. This thesis explores the implementation of e-government systems in improving service delivery within local government agencies. The study focuses on the significance of integrating digital platforms to streamline processes, enhance transparency, and promote citizen engagement. The introduction provides an overview of the research topic, highlighting the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and structure of the thesis. The background of the study discusses the evolution of e-government systems and their impact on public service delivery. The problem statement identifies existing challenges in local government agencies and the need for digital transformation to address inefficiencies. The literature review delves into ten key areas related to e-government systems, service delivery, citizen engagement, technology adoption, and best practices in public administration. The review of relevant literature provides a theoretical framework for understanding the benefits and challenges associated with implementing e-government systems in local government agencies. The research methodology outlines the approach taken to investigate the implementation of e-government systems, including research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The methodology section also discusses the limitations of the study and the steps taken to mitigate potential biases. The discussion of findings presents a detailed analysis of the data collected during the research, highlighting the successes and challenges of implementing e-government systems in local government agencies. The findings are examined in relation to the objectives of the study, providing insights into the impact of digitalization on service delivery and citizen engagement. In conclusion, this thesis summarizes the key findings, discusses their implications for public administration, and offers recommendations for improving the implementation of e-government systems in local government agencies. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on e-government and provides valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in leveraging technology to enhance service delivery in the public sector.
