Centre for eGovernance Development

Acronym
CeGD
Description

In January 2008 the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, along with five other stakeholders and two recognized partners established the Centre for eGovernance Development for South East Europe (CeGD). Among the stakeholders are the Regional Cooperation Council (former Stability Pact; Bosnia and Herzegovina), United Nations Development Programme (Bosnia and Herzegovina), European Foundation for Information Society (EU/Spain), INA Academy (Greece), SRC (company, Slovenia) and two recognized partners Microsoft and Siemens. The CeGD is one of the first Public-Private-Partnerships (PPPs) established in the SEE region to address the needs of the specific, but nevertheless broad field, of eGovernance . Directly or through cooperation with its stakeholders and recognized partners the CeGD initiates several regional projects and initiatives that may be characterised as good practices. First and foremost, the CeGD implements its activities in accordance with the CeGD “7 ePillars Model of Single SEE Information Space and Inclusive Information Society”, which includes seven fields of interest, namely: eGovernment, eDemocracy, eBusiness, eEducation and eResearch and eCulture, eHealth, eJustice and eSecurity. By targeting these wide-ranging and heterogeneous fields of eGovernance the CeGD addresses structural and political reforms in a number of different socio-political fields throughout the SEE region. Through ICT supported solutions many of the prevalent social and political issues in individual countries may be addressed (e.g. development of eDemocracy systems through the establishment of web portals to battle social and political exclusion and to ensure grater political participation in decision making). All deliverable solutions are specifically tailored to each individual country’s needs and interests, taking into account the societal, political and cultural differences between countries in the SEE region.
