Description
The course explains the foundational concepts and components for e-governance interaction in information society. It starts with an introduction to what information society is and how it has established the environment for e-governance development and digital transformation in the public sector. It also introduces the main building blocks of e-governance, their aims, initiatives, and enablers and details how they are related to external subjects and domains. As the nature of the course is interdisciplinary, it entails an intersection of multiple domains by explaining the political, legal, social, economic, and IT variables impacting e-governance implementation.
The course is intended for policymakers and government officials interested in public sector digitalization, transformation, and e-governance. No ICT background is required.
None. Participants don’t require prior knowledge to take this course.

- Evaluate the e-governance journey in your own country, including the enabling and inhibiting factors behind it.
