The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs are determined to step towards sustainable development, taking a much broader view of sustainability than ever achieved previously, yet practical challenges remain, including how to implement change. ICT in its appearance of e-government can fill this gap; its dynamic approach can be useful in achieving the targets that have been set in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 17. This study focuses mainly on the identification of e-government services/initiatives, which have been taken in Pakistan to pave the path for efficient delivery of public services to citizens(G2C). Every goal of UN SDGs is directly and indirectly associated with the concept of e-government specifically the two of its core elements, i.e., connectivity and online availability of data (also called open data). The desktop research approach is adopted to analyze the National Information and Technology Board (NITB) web portal as it is parent board dealing with ICT and e-government matters to identify the current status of e-government initiates taken and implement the ed at the national level, along with e-services provided at NADRA web portal. The findings of the study reveal that the 2030 agenda of SDGs and efficient e-government implementation is not possible without giving due attention to e-services delivery, quality and reliability. It is recommended that the government should initiate different programs to disseminate the knowledge about the usage, adoption, and benefits of e-government (e-services) at their doorstep in economical ways.
