Actionline 5 eGovernment (Sweden)Resumé and reflections from 2003 - 2006 Karl-Mårten Karlsson Riga 7 April 2006
Reflections are made with respect to the goals of the actionline Goal No. 1 To strengthen the network of persons occupied with eGovernment issues in the Baltic Sea States, by being an arena for the exchange of good practices and experiences of eGovernment issues
The results for goal No 1 are ……. A trilogy of seminars • Preparation for the acceding countries to the IDA-programme in January (Brussels), May (Warszawa) and November (Sofia) 2003 • Seminar in Vilnius 2003 on eSecurity, eProcurment, eInformation and eSecure Intranet • Baltic IT&T Forum- Seminar on Strategies for an Open Infrastructure (2004)- Seminar on Open Source are you prepared?(2005) • - Seminar on Outsourcing and beyond. Business models for eGovernment (2006)
Reflections of the Goal 1 ….. • All together the seminars has attracted 450 – 500 participants • The seminars has engaged around 10 officers from both Statskontoret and Verva • More than ten major companies has been engaged • The seminars has taken place in five countries of which three was a Baltic Sea State • The seminars has engaged speakers from all NeDAP countries except from Russia • Reports and articles has been written and distributed • The seminar would (probably) not have taken place without the NeDAP framework. (The effect without the seminars is unclear) • The brand of our agency as well as NeDAP’s has been strengthen in the region
Goal No 2……. • The Action Line should support regional or country specific eGovernment projects, in their contacts with the European Commission.
The results of goal No 2……………….…is a couple of projects • Project on Digital Signatures funded by the NCM, conducted by Statskontoret in 2003 • Co-operation and support to Russia concerning eGovernment project eRussia. Funded by Swedish Agency SIDA, conducted by Statskontoret • Current project on exchange of population register data, Swedish Tax Agency and Estonian Population Register
Reflections of the goal 2………….. • NeDAP has been a reason to discuss the projects and to address Statskontoret as the responsible agency • The projects should mainly be seen as a function of the NeDAP framework and NOT as an initiative of the actionline • A staff agency is right for policy making projects, but wrong (less suited) for “process and implementation” projects
Conclusion…………………… • Another period for AL 5 would be “more of the same” = little effect • Take care of the positive outcome of the cooperation. Work should be continued under the EU-IT umbrella and within the CBSS (many initiatives in pipeline) • Follow up and collect results from the population register project between Estonia and Sweden, possibly with an extension to other BSR-countries
