Effective governance frameworks and co-ordination mechanisms for digital government

This chapter provides an overview of the current state of political leadership, support and commitment to digitalisation efforts in the public sector. This chapter also underlines the relevance for countries in the region to achieve greater coherence in the use of technologies across policy areas and levels of government through effective governance and co-ordination frameworks. The chapter highlights key areas of opportunities and considers policy options to strengthen the institutional arrangements of digital government. The chapter closes with an assessment of ways in which the countries assessed can build stronger international co-operation in this policy area to leapfrog on the experiences of regional peers and OECD partners.
