Public Administration and Local Government

Benefits for citizens

  • Faster handling of administrative matters – most public services can be completed online without visiting an office, with significantly shorter waiting times.

  • Easy access to information, documents and services – citizens can access citizen portals, eDocuments, register extracts and fee-related services anytime and from anywhere.

  • Greater transparency – citizens gain better insight into decisions taken by public authorities, records of council and assembly meetings, and improved oversight of public finances and local government performance.

  • Personalisation and pre-filled forms – greater convenience, fewer mistakes in dealings with public administration, and a more user-friendly digital experience.

  • Electronic communication and submissions – easier and more convenient contact with public offices, including notifications, application filing and status tracking.

Benefits for public officials

  • Automation of routine tasks – digital systems free up officials’ time and allow them to focus on more complex and creative cases.

  • Fewer errors and clearer processes – digitalised agendas reduce the risk of administrative mistakes and simplify information retrieval and archiving.

  • Improved data and document security – high-quality IT infrastructure and central registers ensure secure storage and transfer of data between authorities.

  • Higher efficiency and job satisfaction – officials can manage complex agendas more easily and spend less time on manual administration.

  • Opportunities for further learning and professional development – working with digital tools encourages the development of new skills, especially in data work, AI and digital services.

In practice, digitalisation brings greater comfort, time savings, better oversight of public administration and safer data processing for all parties involved

Conclusion

Experience from abroad (Estonia, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom and others) confirms better accessibility and quality of public administration services, together with the related potential to simplify citizens’ everyday lives. However, a key condition remains that these services must be available across a broad range of municipalities, which depends on the existence of high-quality and accessible data networks.
