Ukraine Rises in E-Government Development Index

Ukraine has been ranked 62 out of 193 countries in the E-Government Development Index 2016 published by the UN, which is 25 points higher than 2014, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman wrote on Facebook.

Groysman said this was an important achievement for Ukraine and added: "I have always thought that e-technology is an important instrument for ensuring transparency and effectiveness of power in the current circumstances, of countering corruption, increasing the quality of services and citizen participation. That’s why, wherever I work — in the city council, the parliament, or the government — I always promote their implementation."

Prime Minister also said that further implementation of e-technologies is one of the top priorities for the authorities at the national level. Groysman wrote that the government is planning to further promote open data, e-procurement, e-services, e-identification and other related projects.
