 The article examines the sustainability of e-governance in Africa by looking at the participation of stakeholders. It draws upon existing literature and reviews of country approaches to explore the issue. The article finds that dominant stakeholder interests effectively exclude most citizens from participating in e-governance, with the exception of those who use the services provided by e-government. Additionally, it notes that global stakeholders have a lower level of attachment to e-governance than local actors, who are more strongly involved in the process. Finally, the article concludes that the policy process has failed to nurture the heterogeneous involvement of grassroots actors necessary for successful e-governance.
