Abstract:	LOG-IN Africa is a network of research teams from nine African countries which examine how e-government applications and their implementation have affected good governance. The LOG-IN Africa research programme takes the local and the municipal core of the African experience as pivotal to the improvement of services. This volume presents studies from the nine countries that explore how ICTs can transform service delivery, tax, financial management, land management, education, local economic development, citizen registration and political inclusion. An introduction by the editors and a discussion of an e-governance assessment framework by Timothy Mwololo Waema are followed by chapters on e-local governance in Egypt (Aly A. Fahmy, Hatem M. Elkadi and Hisham M. Abdelsalam), life-event services in the 'kebeles' of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Solomon Atnafu, Dessalegn Mequanint and Yigremew Adal), financial management in Mavoko and Nyeri municipal councils in Kenya (Winnie Mitullah and Timothy Mwololo Waema), revenue management in municipal and district councils in Mauritius (Taruna Shalini Ramessur and Hemant Birandranath Chittoo), e-government for good governance in Morocco (Driss Kettani and Asmae El Mahdi), the Land Management Information System in Mozambique (Gertrudes Macueve), e-governance in Gauteng Province, South Africa (Lucienne Abrahams and Lutske Newton-Reid), the Local Government Information Communication System in Uganda (Narathius Asingwire, Christopher Muhoozi and Jennifer Angeyo), and ICTs for good governance in northern Ghana (John Gasu and Jonnie Akakpo). Timothy Mwololo Waema concludes with a summary and an e-local governance roadmap. [ASC Leiden abstract]
