 It concedes that the first phase of e-government reform up until 2004-5 had a limited impact, albeit putting a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to BBC Newsnight: the main new policy announcement in Gordon Brown&#8217;s Labour Party Conference Speech tomorrow will be a plan to tackle the digital divide amongst young people. This will be done through a voucher scheme that will subsidize the cost of a computer or an internet subsciption for low income households with children&#8230;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Korea&#8217;s former President Roh Moo-hyun is making waves in the press at the moment after launching a new e-democracy website called Democracy 2.0 that is designed to foster greater public debate.
