The Survey guides public policies and institutions for digital transformation and innovation
It is the only global research that assesses the e-government development status of all 193 UN Member States
It builds capacity and shares knowledge and good practices from around the world in enhancing public governance and online public service delivery
It demonstrates the global progress in e-government development and serves as a barometer of e-government trends, a benchmark tool and a development tool
It helps draw attention from the academia and media to issues of digital government and related institutions
United Nations E-Government Survey
IMPROVING REGIONAL BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY THROUGH THE
ASIA-PACIFIC INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY
UN E-Gov Survey Methodology
• A country’s ranking in the survey is determined by the
EGDI - E-Government Development Index, which is a
weighted average of three normalized scores on
• Scope and quality of online services
1. Online Service Index, OSI
2. Telecommunication Infrastructure Index, TII
3. Human Capital Index, HCI
IMPROVING REGIONAL BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY THROUGH THE
ASIA-PACIFIC INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY
Online Service Index (OSI)
• Composite normalized score derived on the basis on an Online
Service Questionnaire.
• The total number of points scored by each country is
normalized to a range of 0 to 1.
• Formula:
• Questions surrounding “information about” something such as
laws, policies, legislation or expenditures, “existence of” a
feature such as social networking tools, “ability to” do
something on the website i.e. run a transaction

E-participation Index (EPI)
• Focusing on the government use of online services in providing information to its citizens or “e-information sharing”, interacting with stakeholders or “e-consultation” and engaging in decision-making processes or “e-decision-making
• Formula:
• Other updates included: (i) the availability of information on the citizens’ rights to access government information; (ii) feedback from citizens concerning the improvement of online public services; and (iii) public opinion tools on policy deliberation through social media, online polls and online discussion forums.

2018 Global Highlights • E-government has grown rapidly over the past 17 years,
since the first attempt of the United Nations to
benchmark e-government in 2001.
• In the 2018 Survey, 40 countries score “very high”, with
e-government development index (EGDI) values in the
range of 0.75 to 1.00, as compared to only 29 countries
in 2016.
• Since 2014, all 193 Member States of the UN have
delivered some form of online presence.
• Countries in the Low-EGDI level have dropped by a
significant 50 per cent or 16 countries compared to 32
countries in 2016.

Towards sustainability and resilience
• Highlights the many and
complex opportunities for
deploying e-government to build
resilient societies and sets out
the necessary preconditions,
• Outlines ways in which e-
government can advance the
implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals

E-resilience as part of Digital Government
• Resilience = “ability of a system, community or society
exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to
and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and
efficient manner, including through the preservation and
restoration of its essential basic structures and functions”
• E-resilience = the use of ICTs during all phases of disaster
risk management —prevention, reduction, preparedness,
response and recovery — towards reducing risk and
impact and maintaining the gains made towards
sustainable development, including through e-
government.

AI for e-resilience: Qatar
• Qatar’s Artificial Intelligence for Disaster
Response (AIDR) = a free and open source
software that automatically collects and
classifies social media feeds including tweets
that are posted during humanitarian crises.
• AIDR maximises the use of machine intelligence
and assists in making sense of significant
amounts of data, video, images and texts on
social media whenever disaster strikes.
• Once the collection starts and tweets begin to
gather, different keywords and hashtags are
created, such as #Medical Needs or #Shelter.

Thailand’s Online Service and E-Participation• Thailand’s online service index (0.6389), human capital
index (0.7903) and e-participation index (0.6517) are in the same range as e-government index (0.6543), indicating that the demand/uptake of e-government services offered is comparably high.
• These numbers also indicate that upgrading Thailand’s telecommunications infrastructure, especially the availability of fixed broadband (currently 68th at 0.5338) and expanding the online services offered to its citizens could potentially elevate the country’s already high ranking, but most importantly, ensure that the country is in the best position to leverage on new technologies in implementing its development goals and in making these technology-based services available to everyone.
