The public sector can and must provide better, more cohesive and efficient digital service to citizens and businesses. The Danish E-government strategy 2007-2010 aims to fulfil these goals.
E-government has come a long way the past recent years, and Denmark occupies a leading position in this field. The goal is to keep and improve this position. With the new strategy, the Government and the local authorities will build on the good experiences and further improve the unique Danish way of cooperating and taking joint initiatives in order to seize the opportunities arising in an increasingly digitalized society.
The strategy contains general goals as well as 35 specific initiatives. The strategy has three priority areas:
- Digitalization focused on creating improvements in the service to citizens and businesses;
- Digitalization that enables resources to be transferred from administration to citizen-focused service;
- Coordination and prioritization of digitalization efforts in the public sector through more binding, cross-governmental collaboration at all levels.
The strategy is part of a long-term development towards more cohesive and efficient digitalization, and as such it gives the individual authorities a new framework for digitalization efforts up to 2010.
