E-Government Mapping Overview of Lebanese GovTech Readiness and Respect for Citizen Privacy
Description
This research surveys the current status of security and digital rights on e-government platforms by Lebanese public administrations. 655 searches yielded 563 eligible government platforms, which were analyzed against 26 basic and advanced criteria relating to security, ownership, jurisdiction, and protection of user data.
Drawing up from the data and results, this study has offered an additional contribution to e-government development. We were able to provide a peek into the current setup of e government in Lebanon by identifying its quality and respect to basic and advanced privacy and security standards. Thus, through this study, the central government can draw e-government plans based on the assessments which can help in identifying the areas where improvements are needed, especially those that require more infrastructure support.
