This survey was initiated by the State Agency for e-Governance in Ukraine and implemented under support from the USAID/UK aid “Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services” Project. This report is based on information on 23 most demanded state registries that were selected by the Expert Group while basing on national priorities defined by valid laws. In order to assess the registries’ status, we tried focusing on analysis of financial, technical, organizational and regulatory specifications of the above registries.
The general purpose of this report is the need in drawing attention of related state bodies – registry-owners – and experts to the current situation with access to information stored within the mentioned state electronic registries. The primary focus was made on the issues with data exchange between state bodies, which decreases efficiency of management decision-making and quality of public services provided for the population and business. These weaknesses of state administration and governance may provoke various corruption-related risks and abuse of power. The Expert Group also emphasized on detecting the full range of barriers on the way to actual interoperability improvement for state resources. In order to make the situation better, a set of specific recommendations was developed with the aim to help enhancing the state policy on efficient management of state electronic information resources and development of their interoperability in the short-term perspective.
A number of consulting sessions were held with state registry owners and administrators within the frames of the survey. The information acquired was used for forming the expert vision presented in this report.
The information on state information resources presented in this report was acquired officially from state bodies or open sources.
