Digital government

It is essential for governments to go digital. For many countries, this implies a shift from e-government towards the more holistic and user-centred approach of digital government. A core principle of digital government is to leverage digital technologies more fully to design, develop, deliver and monitor public policies and services centred around people and the needs of citizens and businesses. As the public sector both produces and consumes large amounts data, there is also significant potential for governments to use digital technologies to innovate.
