The major indicator of information and communications means, national welfare and democratic development in every country is the level of organization and application of the e-Government system. This system bases on the reality of activity of state as an institution serving to properly meet the basic need of society. E-Government is already successfully applied in a number of developed states.

The continuous, purposeful, strategic “e-development model”, which includes experience of the developed countries as well, is under implementation in the recent years in Azerbaijan to develop ICT, use the existing potential to the maximum and promote the republic’s information potential in the world. These obligations are personified at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies, which carries out the state policy in the respective sphere. Numerous legal and normative acts adopted in the field of the application and development of new technologies aim at the effective use of the country’s e-resources. Azerbaijan is interested in comprehensively studying the experience of Austria, one of very few countries (about 7) having adopted the e-Government law.

E-Government can function as an effective factor in state’s fight with corruption. Building a sincere relationship between government bodies and citizens, e-Government eliminates misuse of official position, violation of citizens’ rights. The Republic of Azerbaijan, which has changed the fight against corruption into one of the vital objectives of state, has emphasized the intention to use this preference of e-Government.

Successful results gained for short time in the field of formation of e-Government provide a basis to the long-term future of the project. An efficient organization of e-Government, clearness of its sense and substance, adaptation of citizens to e-regime will bring to the existence of e-democracy.
