IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROCESS OF INFORMATION OPENNESS OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES BY THE PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT CONCEPT

Abstract

Improvement of the activity of the system of public authorities is possible only if their information openness is constantly increased. A modern developed society cannot exist without a two-way connection between public authorities on the one hand, and citizens and business on the other. In fact, the authorities themselves are interested in having such a connection, as there is increasing confidence in them (public authorities) and, accordingly, there is support for certain, even unpopular decisions by the population of the country. Therefore, increasing the information openness of public authorities is a prerequisite for the development of modern public administration in general. Today public information authorities should be enhanced through the introduction of e-government.

Although this issue is of interest worldwide, the need to develop concrete approaches to its resolution in Ukraine is beyond doubt. Increasing the information transparency of public authorities through the introduction of e-government is now a necessary step because it can improve the relationship between government and citizens and business.

The purpose of the article is to improve the process of information openness of public authorities through the practical implementation of the concept of e-government. In order to achieve this goal, the following tasks are fulfilled in the article: firstly, the need to increase the information openness of public authorities in general is justified, and secondly, it is proposed to improve the information openness of public authorities through the practical implementation of the e-government system.

The article presents the author's vision of the ways to increase the information transparency of public authorities, namely through the implementation of e-government. It is stipulated in the article that such steps could significantly increase the relationship between public authorities and citizens, as well as public authorities and businesses. In addition, public information should be increased at the national, regional and local levels.
