Vietnam's e-Government jumps ten spots
VNA/Hanoitimes 11:05, 2016/08/07
Vietnam leaped ten spots to the 89th place out of 193 countries and territories in e-Government, according to the UN e-Government survey 2016.


The UN published the survey themed “E-government in support of sustainable development.”

Accordingly, Vietnam improved their e-government performance and made the leap from middle E-Government Development Index (EGDI) to high-EGDI values.  

According to the 2016 Survey, the UK is ranked as global leader on the e-participation index while Japan and Australia share second place.  

In the Southeast Asian region, Viet Nam was positioned at sixth place after Singapore (4th); Malaysia (60th); the Philippines (71st); Thailand (77th); and Brunei (83th).

However, Viet Nam ranked 4th in the region in terms of public service provision.  

The report 2016 UN E-Government Survey, produced every two years by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, is the only global report that assesses the e-government development status of all 193 Member States of the UN.

In the latest edition, it found that countries in all regions are increasingly utilizing new information and communication technologies to deliver services and engage people in decision-making processes.

At the same time, the report also uncovered that substantial regional disparities and a growing divide continues to persist. Furthermore, lack of access to technology, poverty and inequality prevent people from fully taking advantage of the potential of ICTs and e-government for sustainable development.

While Europe continued to lead on e-government, followed by the Americas, Asia and Oceania, Africa lagged furthest behind.
