Abstract

This study explores the role of e-governance in enhancing citizen participation in decision-making processes, addressing the growing integration of digital platforms in public administration. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of e-governance initiatives across various jurisdictions, identifying key challenges and best practices. Employing a qualitative methodology based on document analysis of e-governance regulations and policies, the study examines official government portals and validates data using the SIFT method. Findings reveal that successful e-governance implementation is characterized by mobile-friendly platforms, integration of advanced technologies, and comprehensive digital literacy programs. However, challenges persist in bridging the digital divide and translating online engagement into policy outcomes. The study recommends prioritizing inclusive design, multi-channel engagement strategies, and mechanisms to ensure responsiveness to citizen input. It concludes that while e-governance offers significant potential for enhancing participatory democracy, its effectiveness depends on addressing underlying socio-economic inequalities and fostering a culture of digital citizenship.
