Bienvenidos a las Naciones Unidas
Inexpensive and powerful microcomputers, telecommunications technologies, and information systems have become an essential element of the development process of developing countries. Information systems for governance and public administration, as one of the most important aspects of computer applications in developing countries, have been a high priority concern in almost all developing countries. Governance and public administration can not be productive, effective and efficient without the support of modern information technology. The use of information technology has been an absolute requirement for public administration and management development. The Governance and Public Administration Branch, Division of Public Administration and Development Management of UN/DDSMS has been continuously and increasingly under pressure from developing countries to provide advisory services and technical assistance in this important area.
