Smart governance is the governance model which is emerging worldwide as the solution for sustainable development. Today, countries around the world are changing rapidly, from the industrial to the technological era, moving towards a knowledge-based society and economy. Modernization and innovation of public administration heavily lies in the use of information communications technology for improving the relationship between government to government (G2G), government to citizen (G2C), government to business (G2B), and government to public employees (G2E).
Mongolia developed its first e-Government policy in 2005, entitled “E-Mongolia National Program”. Currently, Mongolia is determined in creating a knowledge society by developing information and communications technology as a facilitator and enabler for achieving a full operational government model and a sustainable social and economic development.
