e-Justice Implementation at a National Scale: The Ugandan Case
Fredrick Edward Kitoogo, Constantine Bitwayiki · 2012
Abstract. The use of information and communications technologies has been identified as one of the means suitable for supplementing the var-ious reforms in convalescing the performance of the justice sector. The Government of Uganda has made strides in the implementation of e-Government to effectively utilize information and communications tech-nologies in governance. The justice players are manifested in a justice, law and order sector which is based on the the Sector Wide Approach whose basic principle is that communication, cooperation and coordina-tion between institutions can greatly add value to service delivery within a sector. Although a subset of e-Government, e-Justice aims at improv-ing service delivery and collaboration between all justice players through the use of ICTs and needs to be spear-headed at a sector level. This work proposes ways of harnessing the existing opportunities and methods to implement e-Justice in Uganda that will culminate into a generic frame-work that can be applied in similar countries.
