DIGITAL GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES FOR TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SERVICES IN THE WELFARE AREAS

In July 2014, OECD member countries, through the OECD Council, formally adopted a Recommendation “that governments develop and implement digital government strategies” to assist and guide them to achieve that digital transformation. The Recommendation emphasises the crucial contribution of digital technologies as a strategic driver to create open, participatory and trustworthy public sectors, to improve social inclusiveness and government accountability, and to bring together government and non-government actors and develop innovative approaches to contribute to national development and long-term sustainable growth.

WHITE HOUSE ACTION PLAN ON GLOBAL WATER SECURITY

whitePaper | June 1, 2022

The Biden-Harris Administration recognizes the critical role of sustainable water systems and the transformational power that water access has in the life of each person on earth.
