Norway has laid solid foundations for the development of a national digital government. These foundations are based on sustained efforts to use technology to improve the organisational efficiency of public sector institutions. This has led to high levels of citizen satisfaction with public services in areas such as health care and education that are well above the OECD average. The creation of an electronic identification system (eID), citizens’ digital mailboxes, one-stop-shop portals for citizens and businesses and the development of inclusive digital strategies and services are all results of the government’s commitment to improving and simplifying the relationship between the public sector and the Norwegian population. A system of basic data registries, as well as the adoption of digital government principles, such as not asking users to provide the same data more than once, have also made it easier for public institutions to share data and become more closely integrated.
