Formula for creating trust in digital government
This white paper explores practical and tech-driven strategies to help governments rebuild trust and improve service delivery.
Trust is the foundation of democracies
Trust is the backbone of democracy, giving governments the legitimacy they need to function effectively. Yet, as trust declines, public institutions face challenges in delivering progress on technological adoption and social development.
Trust as both enabler and dependency
The paradox of digital transformation – trust is needed to invest public capital in digital transformation, and at the same time, digital transformation will result in trust.
It is both an outcome of the process and a necessary precondition for it. But such a virtuous cycle, where the initial trust level enables a digital service uptake and the usage of the same services starts to increase, trust can only be kickstarted when the initial trust level is there.
From a certain level of digital maturity onward – like moving from traditional e-government to personal government – trust becomes a core enabler of governance as citizen willingness to share their data is a technical necessity of the system.
