At its meeting on 15 April 2014, the Swiss eGovernment Steering Committee laid the foundations for the continuation of collaboration in eGovernment. Indeed, the framework agreement concerning such collaboration between the Confederation and the cantons expires at the end of 2015. In the course of 2014, it will define the strategic goals and develop various options for future organisation and implementation of eGovernment. These options will be submitted to the political authorities in 2015. In addition, the Steering Committee has approved the final report on the Action Plan for 2013.
A framework agreement under public law governs cooperation between the different levels of the federal Government with regard to the implementation of the Swiss eGovernment strategy, which dates from 2007. This agreement is valid until the end of 2015. The Steering Committee of eGovernment Switzerland charged in November 2013 the Programme Officer to develop the operational management, with the assistance of the various actors in the field, the legal bases and institutional necessary, by 2016, further collaboration on eGovernment. The Steering Committee has now approved the objectives, organisation and planning of the project and decided to further the work.
