EGDI - E-Government Development Index, created from the three indices above.

So, if you're interested in digital gov services, look at OSI, rather than the overall rankings.

Using the data visualisation useful for selecting different views: https://t.co/kU2lvTd69K

[Olivia Neal @LivNeal]

Sure people will be reading the latest UN DESA 'e-gov' rankings out yesterday with interest.

Worth bearing in mind that the headline 'rankings' are comprised of 3 different indices. It's often more useful to look at these separately to get insights

[Olivia Neal @LivNeal]

Quick reminder:

OSI - Online Services Index (Number of govt services online. Measures quantity not quality)

TII - Telecommunication Infrastructure Index (Internet connectivity. Mobile and Broadband subscriptions)

Human Capital Index (Adult literacy rates, school enrollments)

Particularly like the initiative shared in this podcast on an accelerator approach - identify the thorny, cross-govt problem (e.g. road traffic deaths), get a multi-disciplinary team together, free them from bureaucracy for 100 days, and see what they can achieve together
