Funding is the foremost issue in e-Governance initiatives. The projects that are part of the e-governance initiatives need to be funded either through the government sector or through the private sector. The projects can be built either on BOO (Build Own Operate) or BOOT (Build Own Operate Transfer) basis.

The main revenue model of implementing an integrated platform, joining all the functions of government, exists in terms of saving immense costs, which are involved in maintaining existing channels of functioning of government, and in distribution of information. It would drastically cut down the costs incurred on manual transfer of information, administrative costs, etc.

Revenue could be generated from advertising revenues through the portal, making additional services available at a premium. Also increase in overall awareness amongst people would help generate self-employment that will create revenues for the government.

Achieving success in e-Governance requires active partnerships between government, citizens and the private sector. The e-governance process needs continuous input and feedback from the `customers’— the citizens, resident, businesses and officials who use electronic public services. Their voices and ideas are essential to making e-Governance work. Hence e-governance has to be a shared vision with all the stakeholders – government and non-government – participating in defining this vision.

For e-governance initiatives, the three Ps – public-private partnership (PPP) is a must. The PPP model of development focuses on collaboration between the public and the private sector. It recognizes the importance of the private sector in reaching development goals by promoting business, creating income, providing jobs as well as developing a sense of corporate social responsibility. The public and the private sector recognize overlaps of their goals, see the opportunities for cooperation, and work side by side in mutual projects.
