International Projects in e-Government and Digital Cooperation
One of the areas that the Pirate Parties are trying to act on is the adjustment of politics to a new digital age. This can be achieved through adding more transparency to the governments, opening them up for more collaboration and use of data and turning the government into more of an eGovernment in order to both use more of the benefits brought by our digital age and protect us from its risks.
The Swedish E-delegation is assigned to, amongst other things, to “aid the government in EU-collaboration and in international projects concerning eGovernment” (translated dir. 2009:19). In order to do this, they are monitoring the area and have compiled a list of projects in the fields of transportation, social security, eID, tax and customs etc.
This list is, unfortunately, only in Swedish which is why Pirate Times decided to translate it for the awareness of other Pirate Parties as well as other international organizations interested in eGovernment. Hopefully this list will lead to more awareness and collaboration instead of starting up similar projects. We encourage you to copy and evolve this list on your own as well, but please link back to us if you do.
