Based on survey results, about 112 different e-Services were proposed by qualified Iraqi citizens. The requested e-Services were highlighted based on a provided statistical list in this paper. This paper can be an influential step to enhance e-Government and cloud computing functionaries in Iraq consistent with the citizen’s outlooks and discover technical and non- technical barriers that delay the development of Iraqi e-Government and cloud computing.
