Whole of Government refers to the joint activities performed by diverse ministries, public administrations and public agencies in order to provide a common solution to particular problems or issues. It is a concept that unifies various agencies and functions of the government such that they appear as ONE to the citizens. The terms like, “one-stop government”, “joined-up government” and “whole-of-government,” have been interchangeably used to describe integration of silos in public administration to formal and informal networks.
Several areas justify the coordination among different public administrations to represent Whole of Government. Pressures from public opinion, budgetary constraints, security, counterterrorism, and environmental impact are some examples which influence integration of Government services. Aligning common interests, avoiding task duplications, reducing costs, increasing productivity, and achieving a coherent line of action are some other elements that have led to vertical and horizontal coordination of different Government Agencies.
E-government is one such tool to achieve the whole of government. Whole of government is integration of services across federal, state, local government and various departments leading to a single window for citizens. It is a government which unifies all functions, agencies, levels of government and brings together a one government.
