E-government implementation in Region V SUCs 2009 A survey was conducted among 16 key informants from eight state colleges and universities (SUCs) in Region V from May 8-18, 2007 to determine their implementation of the E-Commerce Law (RA 87977) and the constraints to their compliance. Specifically, the research (1) determined the SUCs' information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities and resources in building, improving, and maintaining their websites; (2) assessed their level of awareness on basic provisions regarding e-governance; and (3) identified their constraints in ICT management and administration. The fourth objective categorized the websites of SUCs downloadable as of March 2008 according to the standards of the United Nations and the American Society of Public Administration (UN-ASPA) Five Stages of E-Government. Finally, recommendations are forwarded to improve the implementation of the e-governance among the SUCs. The SUCs had enough ICT hardware and software to undergo the preliminaries of e-governance. However, the ICT unit was not properly staffed. The head of the unit was usually a designated officer only, and the support staff were not usually plantilla positions. also, the respondents were only partially aware of the whole provisions of e-government. Only two SUCs had development plans that explicitly proposed the establishment and maintenance of a website. Further, only six SUCs had downloadable websites as of March 2008. Of tehse six websites, only two conformed to the UN-ASPA Five Stages of E-Government while others partially conformed. Lack of sufficient budget, poor training interventions, and lack of support from the administration on e-government implementation were the leading constraints in implementing or maintaining a website which serves as the foundation of e-governance. It is recommended that SUcs should ensure relevant trainings, hiring of permanent IT staff, regular budget allocation for IT, and proactive management to implement e-governance effectively.
