Congratulations on your publication. This is a timely topic since E-Government can help reduce corruption, improve efficiency in African countries and domestic resource mobilization. Regarding your questions : • How is e-governance evolving in your respective countries or institutions? I think where in my resident country, E-Government is on good track because many services are now digitalized from school fees to official results and many other services. • Have you had experience publishing your own work, whether through conferences, journals, or policy papers? Do share it. Yes I published a couple of papers in peer-reviewed journals • What challenges or lessons have you encountered in getting your work published and shared? The challenges are the high volume of rejection which is sometime discouraging. The lessons is to persevere and keep improving

Thank you for sharing these insightful imputation techniques. This is a valuable contribution for practitioners working with panel data in Stata. That said, it's important to emphasize that users should not only learn how to apply these techniques, but also clearly understand when and why they are appropriate, as well as the assumptions that underlie them.

Every imputation method, whether simple or advanced, alters the original dataset to some extent. While imputation is intended to mitigate the negative impacts of missing data, it also introduces new sources of uncertainty. If applied carelessly or without checking assumptions, imputation can result in biased estimates, misleading inferences, or spurious relationships in the data.

Empowerment to me is the ability for individuals, groups, or communities to gain control over their lives, make informed decisions, and access the resources and opportunities needed to achieve their full potential. In other words, the freedom to own their lives, choices and decisions.
