The ESF-funded project Public Services Online came to an end with a closing seminar addressing citizens, public officials and businesses. During the seminar, addressed by Principal Permanent Secretary Mario Cutajar, Parliamentary Secretary for Competitiveness and Economic Growth José Herrera and MITA’s Executive Chairman Tony Sultana, achieved results and policy guidelines were presented to guide Government in the development of future eGovernment services thus ensuring that eServices are made easy, efficient and convenient.
The results of the research study on the public’s opinion on the use of public services online shows that the majority of respondents (56%) make use of traditional government services while 28% make exclusive use of eGovernment services. 81% of the public are interested to learn more about public services offered online and 63% actually think that there should be more awareness campaigns.
