ArmInfo. Armenia will continue to improve its e- government system with the involvement of new mechanisms. Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan stated this on September 3 at a government meeting.
According to him, according to the UN e-Government Development Index (EGDI) rating for 2020, Armenia ranked 68th out of 192 countries, having improved its position by 19 points compared to the previous year. Moreover, in terms of e-participation the republic was on a par with the world's leading states with the highest ratings. With the improvement of the system of e-government, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, the Armenian government sets itself the task of even greater involvement of citizens in decision-making processes. Another important mechanism is already in operation - <E-Democracy and Participation>. Thanks to the new mechanism, citizens will have the opportunity to submit their proposals on economic, political, social issues, to comment on the activities of government officials.
Note that in the ranking of the level of development of the UN electronic government (E-Government Development Index), which is contained in the E-Government Survey, the positions of countries are distributed based on the overall index they received. It, in turn, consists of three sub-indices characterizing the state. The best result among the CIS countries in the index was shown by Kazakhstan, which is located on the 29th line of the rating. Belarus took 40th place, Ukraine - 69th, Moldova - 79th, Uzbekistan - 87th. Among the countries of the post-Soviet space, Kazakhstan has the third result: only Estonia, which closed the top three, and lost the lead in the rating to Denmark and South Korea, and Lithuania, which became the 20th country in the rating, ranked higher. In terms of e-government development, Russia is ahead of China, which took 45th place in the list. -
