From UNIAN:
“Zelensky's ambitious plan: 90% of all government services
must go online by 2024”
New President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration plans to
increase the share of government web-based services to 90% by 2024."Our
plan is very ambitious. For example, by 2024, we seek to transfer 90% of all
government services to online mode, reducing the number of interactions of
citizens and businesses with the authorities and reaching the zero level of
corruption in this area. And as soon as this year Ukrainians will feel the
taste of next-generation e-services – fully automated and citizen-focused ones.
But all this will become reality only if all experts, talented Ukrainian IT
businesses, all branches of power and the political will at the highest level
consolidate around a joint plan of actions," adviser to the president of
Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov said at the first expert panel discussing "The
State in a Smartphone" concept. The event was hosted by the Presidential
Administration on June 12, the presidential press service reports. According to
Fedorov, web-based services will not only contribute to users' convenience, but
will also reduce corruption. Representatives of the Coalition of the Electronic
State, which brings together 65 different organizations and experts in the
field of IT, took part in the event. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
also joined the discussion. "I want rapid changes. I believe in your
talent and desire to make Ukraine a digital leader and I guarantee the
political will. We must jointly prepare initiatives, bills and take steps to
remove barriers to the digital economy and e-governance. I assure that I will
personally ask those civil servants who demonstrate resistance," the
president said. During the meeting, Coalition representatives gave their
recommendations to the president and discussed priority projects of
digitization. Key proposals were related to the development of tools for
e-state and democracy, digital infrastructure, digital identification, cyber
security, database security, electronic democracy (electronic polls and even
elections). The importance of creating opportunities for Ukrainian
technological start-ups was also discussed. All these tasks will be included in
a single action plan. The president assured that such meetings would be held on
a regular basis. Next week, a series of discussions of the concept with
participation of international donors, business representatives, etc. will take
place. Later, the document will be published as a plan of concrete actions and
expected goals. The president assured that such meetings would be held on a

new concept "The State in a Smartphone."
^ It will be interesting to see if the 2024 goal will be
reached. It will be a good thing for Ukrainians if it is. ^
