| Selection
Criteria for Awards |
- An e-Government effort can be assessed
on various dimensions from the participating
stakeholder's perspective. However, for
the purpose of this award, assessment
is being done on key selected indicators
which have been considered crucial for
the success of the initiative. The assessment
model sets criteria for assessment of
Results and Enablers with respect to selected
key indicators. The model is primarily
inspired from few of the major existing
models for awards and assessments, including
Stockholm Challenge Awards, UK e-Government
National Awards, e-Governance Assessment
Framework (EAF Version 2.0). The final
assessment will also consider the other
e-Readiness/assessment studies done by
selected agencies at the national level.
The process was successfully employed
during Year 2006-07 CSI Nihilent Awards,
and awards were given during CSI Annual
Convention at Bangalore in Dec 2007.The
evaluation process is being further refined
this year and may go down to District
level.
- The evaluation process will be using
a framework of Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP). AHP is a powerful and flexible
decision making process to help in setting
up priorities and arrive at best decision,
where both qualitative and quantitative
aspects are needed to be considered. Specific
parameters and methodology have been finalized
using a consultative approach and suitably
modified based on the feedback received
and learning achieved during previous
years.
