This research aims to study the objectives of sustainable development and the effectiveness of electronic management by mobile in achieving these objectives in the best way. The objectives of sustainable development were reviewed, targeted, programmed and achieved in 2030. This research concentrated on both Internet and mobile subscribers and how to achieve both benefits for electronic management. The mobile usage are increased at last two years to reach about 8.5 Billions subscribers. In addition the mobile usage in Iraq reach its population to be about 37 Millions.
