Mozambican Government Portal Case Study : Visitor Analysis

The e-Government initiative in Mozambique is an ambitious and far-reaching movement with immense potential for positive impact on the Mozambican government and economy. Central to this initiative is the Government Portal—a portal dedicated to intuitively and helpfully disseminating government news, services, and information to citizens, the public sector, and the private sector. Such an important project of the e-Government initiative requires frequent evaluation of the project performance and ways in which it can improve. This document attempts to measure the performance of the Government Portal through visitor analysis. It discusses the limitations of analysis through this approach, what can be deduced from the visitor analysis, and possible ideas to improve the project in an attempt to help it reach its objectives

GovNet e-Mail System Capacity Planning

Electronic Government Network (GovNet) e-Mail System, one of the services offered as part of the GovNet Project in Mozambique is expanding. A significant growth in the number of users of the GovNet e-Mail system is expected in the next couple of months due to the addition of 63 new sites /institutions as part of the GovNet-Extension Project. To address the expected demand on the GovNet IT resources there are scientifically proven methods and processes that can aid the planning of the required networking and IT resources. This paper tries to propose an approach to be followed as part of the process of capacity planning for the GovNet e-Mail System storage and bandwidth capacity. All the data in support of the suggested method were collected during the pilot phase of the GovNet through automatic traffic collection application and through interviews of the IT managers of the government institutions benefiting from the GovNet services.GovNet Projec
