Central co-ordination for digital government projects
Expert review of laws and government reports. Interviews with the same interlocutors as for sub-indicator 2.
Mandate to guide strategic directions requires clear evidence that the function is not limited to co-ordination and monitoring at a technical level. That means that the function is expected to explicitly support wider public policy or service delivery objectives (e.g. simplification of tax payment, digitisation for openness and transparency and, in some cases, digital healthcare or digital education improvements). This sub-indicator does not include local government services.
For each of the following two criteria, 2 points are awarded (total of 4 points).
