Abstract
This paper draws on interpretive case study methodology and e-government enactment framework
to understand Ghana’s biometric identification initiative implementation and its failure to
achieve the intended socioeconomic development impacts. To better understand how such
initiatives can be deployed to achieve the desired impacts, the findings on the reasons for the
failed Ghana’s case are compared with that of a successful developing country’s case. The study
offers contributions to research, policy and practice.
