E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

The speed of transformation and development in information and communication technologies is an important fact triggering the restructuring process of public administration. The developing countries have become integrated into this process through public administration reform methods presented by international institutions. Transfer of information and communication technologies have become important for modernizing public administration organizations of developing countries and adapting them to the global system. In multilevel governance, use and implementation of the information technologies enabling network structuring between institutions have a particular importance. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to present the process followed by Turkey for adapting information and communication technologies to public administration organization and provision of public services in the frame of a multilevel governance approach.

Organization and management scholars seek theory-grounded and theory-building research regarding establishing and structuring organization forms to tackle large, intractable problems, especially grand challenges of poverty, disease, and hunger. Developing countries tend to have intractable social problems of rampant poverty and poor health and struggle with epidemics. The case of HIV/AIDS in Uganda contributes new understanding regarding public organization and state capacity in developing countries, especially regarding grand challenges of intractable social problems. Field research study of HIV/AIDS action in Uganda contributes unexpected insights regarding collaborative governance in an institution context under-explored in public administration and organization studies, the developing non-democracy. Ugandan public executives innovated a participatory organization model of cross-sector collaborative governance to fight their intractable social problem of HIV/AIDS during their start-up era. The participatory organization model innovated by the Ugandan public chief executive, called a best practice by WHO/UNAIDS and influential with PEPFAR designers, yields a construct of network coordination and network control for study of the organization of cross-sector collaborative governance. Integration of public administration and organization studies with development and international relations studies informs study of tensions between efficiency and inclusiveness and between social power and social legitimacy with respect to collaborative governance outcomes of network effectiveness and participatory accountability in the institution context of a developing non-democracy. Is non-democracy meaningful or meaningless to collaborative governance?

The institutional model as delineated by classical Public Administration has limited utility for public administration in the developing countries. There are unlikely to be any uniform structural remedies foradministrative defects in those countries. Similar relationships do not have similar consequences in different contexts. An increased awareness along these lines led to the emergence of Development Administration- an effort to relate structures to goals - and Comparative Public Administration - analysis of administrative structures in their own societal contexts. The basic argument of the present articles is that despite our increased sophistication on these matters the relevance in Development Administration cannot be obtained if one relies only on theoretical knowledge. It is noted that in Development Administration thinking must descend from the heights of systematic theory to the open country of praxis.
