Nationale E-Government-Strategie

Glossary Page

On September 24, 2010, the IT Planning Council adopted the National E-Government Strategy (NEGS). This was the first joint agreement between the federal, state and local governments on how to further develop the electronic handling of administrative matters via the Internet. The NEGS defines six central goals that will guide future projects. These include focusing on the benefits for citizens, companies and the administration, increasing the efficiency of government action, transparency with regard to data and processes, data protection and promoting social participation through online government offerings. At the 6th meeting of the IT Planning Council on October 13, 2011, an implementation concept was adopted that includes the establishment and expansion of a service-oriented federal e-government infrastructure as one of the central measures.
