Paper Abstract:      Government agencies often provide electronic services from a supply side or a technology driven perspective. This means that agencies take their organisational structure, products and services as a starting point for electronic service delivery (ESD) to citizens and business. However, there seems to be a gap between citizen’s needs on the one hand (the demand side) and the quality of ESD on the other hand (the supply side). This article takes a demand side perspective on ESD. It presents some results from two demand side consultations with regard to public ESD in the Netherlands. The aim of these consultations was to gather citizen’s expectations, needs and satisfaction about electronic service delivery. These kinds of consultations help government agencies to make and disclose electronic services that fit citizen’s needs and, therefore, narrow the gap between the demand and supply side of ESD.
