The Global ICT division of World Bank is currently evaluating the e-governance strategy of 45 countries, including India. A preliminary finding of the report shows that globally governments have given very little emphasis to putting in place a monitoring and evaluation strategy of their e-governance projects. Delivering the keynote address at the 'Seminar on E-Governance, from successful pilot to sustainable implementation,' Bangalore IT.Com, Mr Robert Schware, Lead Informatics Specialist, World Bank, noted that most governments evaluated the success factors of e-governance projects but the failure was not analysed. "We found that only 15 per cent of e-governance projects are complete successes while 33 per cent of projects are failures," he said.
