Who are we?




e-Government for Citizens
It’s important!
• Inform the public of available
  services and facilities

• Access to documents and
  processes

• Increase public engagement

• Self-service
So….

what’s being done right in SA?
So….

what’s being done wrong in SA?
Why’s it so $%#@ hard?!!
What is this thing
                       called Internet?

What’s the internet?
It’s online.
Why are you
complaining?
Which is closely linked to…
5361562162XRTFS.pdf – it’s good enough


      and…


NEMA, EIA, EAP, DEDAT, DEADP – you know?
Sometimes I get nightmares…
Not citizen-centric
You’ve got to
 change the
   culture!
Content strategy can make
        the difference.

Content strategy, even rudimentary,
     will help you show how
      good online content
  can improve service delivery.
Where to start?
Know your audience




Be user/citizen-centric
What are citizens looking for?

          Fun facts!
Jobs!




At lunch time on Mondays
Check your marital status
      Marriage
      Divorce
Also…

Applying for a passport / ID
Vehicle licences & registration
Old age pensions
Unemployment insurance
Liquor licence applications
Getting a firearm licence
Know what you’ve got




And what you still need to get
But most importantly….

Be clear about what you do!

And defend this with your life!
From this
To this
To now
Success?




Average 50% increase in visits in
      less than a year.
     Far fewer complaints.
Good online content helps us
deliver government services.

 Content strategy, even a
       basic one,
  makes the difference.
