Abstract

In today’s world, the level of digital integration plays an important role in the development of the state. One aspect of digital integration is the implementation of digital government. The concept of digital government emerged relatively recently, and the beginning of implementation in many countries is at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. Now this direction of development is significant as an indicator of digital development of the country. The creation and implementation of the digital ecosystem of government allows optimizing the process of interaction between public authorities and the population, as well as improving the efficiency of public bodies through the use of digital technologies. The purpose of the study was to formulate proposals to improve the efficiency in the development of state digital ecosystem of the Russian Federation, based on the positive experience of the leading countries in the world rating of e-Government program implementation. The research methods used in this article are theoretical research methods: analysis of statistical data and documents within the scope of the research topic. A comparative analysis of the implementation of e-Government program in Russia and the top three countries in the ranking of countries for the development and implementation of digital government was also carried out. This was followed by identifying the reasons for the success of the leading countries in terms of the effectiveness of government e-ecosystem development. As part of the study, measures were proposed to improve the efficiency of the Russian state’s digital ecosystem development. These measures included: solving the problems hindering the development of e-Government in Russia, as well as borrowing the successful experience of the leading countries in the digital government rating.
