Abstract: This research paper explores the electronic government adoption and implementation level by local government entities in Sudan. It examines how local governments have embraced and integrated digital technologies, platforms, and services using Layne and Lee four stages model. The study employed a content analysis method to collect data from 18 official websites of Sudanese local government entities. The findings suggest that while local e-government initiatives are still in the informative stages, many governments plan to develop more sophisticated e-government offerings. The key barriers and challenges to adopt and implement e-government identified in the research include technological barriers, lack of resources, digital divide, and legal and regulatory obstacles.
