E-Government

This course prepares public institutions to plan and deliver digital government services, covering digital strategy, service design, interoperability, identity, data governance, and inclusion.

Introduction

E-Government explains how public institutions redesign services around digital delivery rather than paper processes. Citizens now expect to complete transactions online, and governments that deliver them gain efficiency, transparency, and public trust. This E-Government Training Course covers the full transformation cycle, from digital strategy and service design to interoperability, identity management, and data governance. Participants work with recognised frameworks, including the OECD Digital Government Policy Framework, the UN E-Government Development Index, and the Gartner e-government maturity model. Furthermore, the course covers open data, cybersecurity, digital inclusion, and change management in the public sector. As a result, participants leave able to plan and deliver digital government services that citizens actually use.
