To help regional and local public administrations implement the eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020, a seminar was organised in Brussels, Belgium, on 15 November 2016.
The seminar presented the various funding mechanisms available for actions and discussed how to ensure alignment of these investments with the main priorities of the eGovernment Action Plan.
The one-day event was organised by the European Commission (DG CONNECT); it assisted both the EU funds management community and implementers in regional and local public administrations with ideas and tools on how to ensure coherent and effective investments towards the same policy goals in order to increase the impact of support and contribute to the envisaged acceleration of the digital transformation of governments in the EU.
One of the expected results of the day was a guidance document including a wealth of links and introductions to funding mechanisms as well as a simple tool that administrations could use to assess if their planned investment is in line with the principles and priorities in the EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020.
The eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 defines a long-term vision for open, efficient and inclusive public administrations. It envisages user-friendly digital public services for all citizens and businesses in the European Union. The Action Plan does not have a dedicated budget or funding instrument, however, it aims to coordinate public sector modernisation efforts, funding resources and accompanying measures available to the Member States through EU Programmes. Examples include the:
- CEF Telecom;
- ISA² programme;
- Horizon 2020;
- European Structural & Investment Funds;
- EU Justice Programme
The morning session provided an introduction to the various funding schemes, while the afternoon was destined at exchanging experience in a panel and discuss specific issues in small groups.
The seminar was organised for representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament, Committee of the Regions, regional and local public administrations and managing authorities.
