Strategic objective 4: Promoting knowledge on digitalising public administrations and building trust
The joint efforts by the Confederation, cantons and communes are aimed at reinforcing trust in digital public services by anchoring knowledge about eGovernment in a targeted manner among the general public and businesses on the user side, and among public administration managers and employees. Moreover, the administration should promote internal awareness of new technologies and their impact on people and the environment, and build knowledge and skills in order to enable the use of new digital working methods and the cultural shift across the administration.
