Sie ist gleichzeitig unbürokratisch Vermittler, wenn einmal jemand anders zuständig ist.

  • CA: Saskatchewan: Estonia can teach us a thing or two about e-government

    The strength of the Saskatchewan economy is exhilarating. The province provides a plentiful supply of minerals and agricultural products that are needed worldwide and fuel the economy. In the face of a reoccurring recession in Europe and the slow recovery in the U.S., some argue that the province should take advantage of its situation and implement innovative measures to maintain long-term prosperity. One such measure is a world-class e-government.

    E-government uses the Internet to deliver services for citizens more conveniently and efficiently. We choose to use e-services because they take only minutes to complete and save us a trip to a government office. Among the “popular” ones is online payment for parking tickets.

  • Gaps Persist in Evaluation Systems for E-Government Initiatives
