In the recent times, governments all over the world have adopted the use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve the quality of administration especially in the public sector. This is in line with the general advocacy to reform the public sector to serve the citizens better and to enhance public sector productivity.

It also takes a cursory look at the methodologies for using ICTs to improve the quality of service delivery in the public sector. The paper concludes that for governments to achieve success in service delivery, certain measure must be taken to ensure proper implementation of ICT policies in order to achieve the desired goals and to serve the citizens better.
