    Risk Management, Top Management Support and E-Government Project Implementation in Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
    (2023) Batabare, James
    The Government of Uganda through the MDAs has spearheaded the implementation of different e-government projects. For example: through National Information Technology Authority-Uganda (NITA-U), several websites have been developed for citizens to receive better public services (Rost, 2021). However, even with such developments, e-government implementation initiatives have not been successful (United Nations, 2019). The purpose of this study was about examining the relationship between top management support, risk management and e-government project implementation in MDAs. A cross sectional research survey was adopted which involved descriptive, correlation, factor analysis and regression approaches. Data were analyzed through SPSS. Purposive sampling technique was used to determine the sample of 75 respondents. Findings from correlation analysis showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between top management support, risk management and e-government project implementation. Regression results indicated that dependent variables significantly and positively predict 71.3% of the variations in e e-government project implementation in MDAs. Findings inform practitioners on how the top managers are key in offering facilitating conditions necessary to aid them to participate actively for e-government implementation success. When risks are well managed through risk identification, risk assessment and risk control, it leads to successful e-governance project implementation. The researcher recommends that top managers through the selected government Ministries and departments should set up e-government implementation committees that will work out modalities for effective implementation. More attention should be given to user participation by ensuring awareness of e-services.
