Citizen-centric e-government shifts the focus of electronic services delivery from a top-down approach to the end-users. In order to provide better services to the citizens, the Namibian government took the initiative to make services available online and established a national web portal. Despite such initiatives, there are still challenges affecting the v by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration. The findings include a lack of awareness of services, cost factors, inadequate accessibility, a need for full online services, trust and security considerations. Citizens preferred mobile online services and expressed willingness to embrace online services.
