Monitoring of the effectiveness of the implementation tools of e-governance in local governments of cities of Ukraine were conducted by a coalition of non-governmental organizations: NGO “Podolian agency for regional development”, Association of Ukrainian Cities, Association “E-Governance cities of Ukraine”, NGO “European Dialogue” and NGO “Civil network OPORA”.
This is the third joint monitoring of the effectiveness of the implementation of information and communication technologies in local government of major cities of Ukraine. This year, again, the subject of analysis was the official websites of the city councils, the system of electronic document management and organization of Centres for Administrative Service Provision.
Features
