The State Services Commission has been providing a leadership role for the implementation of e-government in New Zealand since 2000.

E-government is about enabling transformation- making government work for you.
E-government.....

• affects everyone
• builds trust
• is collaborative
• delivers results
• engages people
• puts people first

E-government is delivered by the State Services collectively. The State Services Commission's role includes:

Strategy:	To develop and manage the delivery of an overarching e-government strategy, as well as supporting policies and standards;
Leadership:	To facilitate uptake by government agencies of the e-government vision;
Coordination/ collaboration:	To identify opportunities for collaboration across government agencies; leverage existing information management and technology investment, and provide coordination for multi-agency e-government projects;
Policy:	To provide e-government policy advice to the Minister of State Services; and
Monitoring:	To monitor progress toward achieving the e-government vision.

This work is being done in harmony with the Development Goals for the State Services, launched in 2005, to provide a way to achieve a transformed State Services.
