The objective for the proposed Framework is to:

- To guide in funding of e-governance projects at various stages of their life-cycle (newly starting, roll-out, scaling up, replication)
- To provide guidelines for mid-term assessment of ongoing initiatives, so that mid-course corrections, if any, can be applied.
-
To provide guidelines for shaping future e-governance projects
-
To provide material for e-governance training programs
-
