Digital Government Review of Argentina
Accelerating the Digitalisation of the Public Sector
This Digital Government Review highlights the efforts taking place in Argentina to digitalise and improve data governance in its public sector and build the foundations for a digital government. The review explores Argentina’s institutional, legal and policy frameworks and their strategic role in the digital transformation of the public sector. The report also discusses how to reinforce the capacity of the public sector to “go digital” and better respond to citizens' needs. It explores how ICT procurement, management, and commissioning can help improve public sector accountability and efficiency, as well as support greater policy coherence and compliance with digital government standards. The review ends with a discussion on the state of data governance in the public sector, including data leadership and stewardship, rules and platforms for data production, sharing and interoperability, data protection, data federation, and open government data initiatives.
Governing the digital transformation of the Argentinian public sector
This chapter analyses and discusses the governance of the digital transformation of the public sector in Argentina, based on the OECD Recommendation of the Council on Digital Government Strategies and the analytical work conducted on the governance of digital government in a number of OECD member and partner countries. The chapter starts by touching on the current governance landscape of the Argentinian public service, and discusses Argentina’s recently released Digital Agenda and its associated objectives. It then discusses the government of Argentina’s institutional governance frameworks and the leadership of digital transformation efforts, followed by a discussion on its capacity to leverage systems approaches to achieve its digital government objectives and goals. The chapter concludes by exploring the legal and regulatory framework and funding mechanisms that may contribute to enabling the digital transformation of the public sector.
