As a sub-discipline of public administration, agile government is not a new field, though there are few scholarly papers in this area, suggesting that this is an area ripe for further focus. In the government sector, the field (under new public management) began to overlap with digital transformations, but the high failure of e-government projects in the region and worldwide (35% total failure and 50% partial failures), and the “the unrelenting waves of technological and social changes that show no signs of easing off”, have resulted in renewed thrust to focus on Agile Governments to better prepare for the future. In simple terms, agility refers to “the ability of an organization to react to changes in its environment faster than the rate of these changes.”
Agile government is a concept that is needed to make governments future-proof and contribute to the welfare of 7.6 billion global citizens. The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals have ambitious targets. Among the 17 goals are no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being - all of which are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all of us.
