A usability evaluation was conducted on 279 e-government websites from 31 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The findings showed that most of the websites performed poorly across the six evaluated usability dimensions. A positive association was observed between e-government website usability and the E-Government Development Index (EGDI). Similarly, e-government website usability was also positively associated the E-Participation Index (EPI).
