Abstract
E-government deployment in rural areas is crucial for improving public service delivery and governance. In Malawi, egovernment initiatives aim to improve transparency, efficiency, and accessibility of public services. This paper examines the implementation of e-government and service delivery in rural Malawi. Despite challenges such as low digital literacy, limited internet connectivity, poor ICT infrastructure, and budget constraints, e-government projects have shown potential to reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies, overcome geographical barriers, and improve responsiveness. This has a positive socio-economic impact, promoting inclusive development, empowerment of marginalized communities, and grassroots good governance practices. By addressing these obstacles and utilizing digital technologies, the Malawian government can realize the transformative potential of e-governance in rural communities.
