Institute for eGovernment

The Dutch government expects to complete this year the implementation of its e-government programme, known as i-NUP, the interior ministry announced. Based on the NUP policy first developed in 2008 to build a common digital infrastructure for all public bodies, the programme is on schedule to be completed by the end of 2015. The national government, independent agencies, municipalities and their suppliers can use the common platform in order to improve service delivery to the public and increase information sharing.

Part of the project included unifying a number of separate databases into a single system. According to the ministry, this proved successful. Use of the population register has tripled since 2010, to around 60 million messages per half year compared to almost 20 million.

The digital infrastructure is expected to continue to evolve based on new demands, with the national e-government commissioner leading its development. The commissioner will also work to ensure that more public bodies join the platform and make use of it. This is part of the Digital 2017 strategy to improve digital service delivery to businesses and citizens. By 2017, the aim is to have a single platform to serve both businesses and residents with public services.
