Abstract: Bridging the gap between society and sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a critical challenge in today's interconnected world. This article explores the multifaceted role of e-government in addressing this gap and contributing to sustainable development. By leveraging digital platforms and services, e-government enhances accessibility, transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement. The literature review highlights how e-government initiatives have improved access to public services, promoted transparency and accountability, empowered marginalized communities, and facilitated citizen participation. Real-world examples and references demonstrate the impact of e-government on various SDGs, including health, education, poverty eradication, gender equality, and social equity. The methodology section outlines the comprehensive analysis conducted, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine existing e-government initiatives and their outcomes. The results and discussion section presents key findings, emphasizing the positive influence of e- government on service accessibility, transparency, accountability, empowerment, and citizen engagement. The conclusion emphasizes the transformative potential of e-government and recommends continued investment in infrastructure, digital literacy, and international cooperation to accelerate progress towards the SDGs. By harnessing the power of e-government, societies can pave the way for inclusive and sustainable development, ensuring that no one is left behind.
