The initiative comes from a belief that knowledge and transactions in digital forms offer universal access to information, services and products through the Internet.
The important knowledge now to the e-citizen is "to know where to find the information on knowledge inside the Internet, and how to use it for transformative development that elevates people dignity".
Knowledge as a commons –as a shared resource – and brought inside an open digital social network offers to the e-citizen and e- community the unprecedented opportunity for collaborative discovery, realization, utilization and improvement of understanding behind the decisions being formulated, the actions being performed, and the new knowledge being created.
ON E-citizen Enablement Project advocates that:
1. the people needs to be enabled as e-citizen through the different ICT for development and education training initiatives, and has to be inside the open digital social network designed for people's transformative development.
2. the knowledge and transactions in digital form needs to find legitimate people supported e-services channel for authoring, sharing, use, and improvement by the community who shall contextualize the value of the information and products to their needs.
3. the common digital address has to be promoted where the e-communities of knowledge and service providers are docked together as web of social networks, where the e-citizens spin responsibly the information sharing and e-services utilization.
4. the community technology access providers, i-cafe, computer center, and community e-center, need to be organized and optimally used for the delivery of e-citizen services.
5. the people organizations and local government units engaged in using ICT for development have to be empowered to bring the organized communities inside the digital social network, and reap the benefits of building understanding and aligning the e-services to the needs of the people.
