The ELOST consortium has created an Interactive Policy Toolbox for active exchange on issues related to inclusive e-Government, which is now available at www.e-Government-exchange.eu or www.e4-info.eu.
The ELOST e-Government Expert Exchange System (called e4 for short) has a number of objectives. It aims to be:

• An interactive information system offering the core results of the ELOST project;
• An open space for the international community of e-Government experts;
• An assessment mechanism for e-Government tools (Qualitative Process Monitoring)

It targets experts in the fields of e-Government (Administration and IT development), as well as NGOs promoting the needs of Low Socio-Economic Status Groups. e4 informs experts across Europe on relevant barriers to e-Government use and respective solutions, good practice and success stories. The toolbox will provide information on reasons why Low Socio-Economic Status Groups (LSGs) refrain from using e-Government services, but also on their specific requirements or what could enable or motivate them to use it (more frequently).
