Legal and regulatory framework

The digital transformation can be either facilitated or delayed by existing legal and regulatory frameworks. This principle highlights the need to assure a normative framework that serves as an enabler for digital government.

International co-operation can be strengthened by sharing:

• The rules for digital interactions with public authorities
• The choice of service delivery tools and mechanisms
• The division of responsibilities across the public sector
• The institutional context in which the digital transformation will have to develop

Periodical revision of legal and regulatory frameworks to ensure:

• Coherence and effective support to ICT project implementation
• Adaptation to a rapidly changing technological and social environment

The regulatory improvements should: 

• Simplify the regulatory requirements
• Ensure legal equivalence of paper-based and online processes and signature
• Streamline procedures
• Facilitate sharing of data and resources across agencies
