2: Minimize Duplication
Improve collaboration and minimize duplication among ministries and agencies on e-government. Other Information:
The Ministry of Public Administration and the President’s Office are working to minimize duplication among ministries, but
much remains to be done. One of the principal roles of the Mexican E-Government Network is to share best practice and promote
e-government collaboration and transferability across ministries and agencies and this has been helpful in ensuring that ideas
are shared and in allowing agencies and ministries to learn from one another’s experiences. However there are insufficient
incentives for collaboration among ministries and insufficient mechanisms and platforms for doing so (e.g. framework agreements,
pilot projects, G2G information systems, etc.). The E-Government Network groups e-government officials across ministries and
agencies at the federal level, and it is coordinated by the Ministry of Public Administration. The Network serves as a forum
for officials to consult, discuss, and determine e-government goals and strategies. The Network also acts as an informal workshop
for ministries and agencies to share best practices and find common solutions to e-government challenges and promote the transferability.
Mexico’s e-government strategy makes extensive use of the contacts developed in the E-Government Network. While it is not
legally constituted as an official group or an administrative body, it is explicitly recognized by the President’s Office
and by the federal public administration. If the draft agreement for the creation of an e-government and IT governance framework
is approved, the Network will become a CIO council with specialized committees.
