| dct:description | (Statement) Public administrations must ensure that digital public services are aligned with public policy goals, designed to address societal needs, and monitored for efficiency and effectiveness in their implementation and delivery. |
| dct:description | (Rationale) Digital public services are a key instrument for implementing public policies that address real and relevant societal needs. To ensure their success, it is essential that these services are designed, implemented, and monitored in alignment with public policy goals, maximising their efficiency and effectiveness in meeting societal demands.Public administrations have a dual responsibility: firstly, to evaluate and ensure that resources dedicated to the implementation of digital public services are proportionate to the societal needs they address and the value they provide; secondly, to continuously track and control these efforts to ensure alignment with policy objectives without introducing inefficiencies or unnecessary expenditures.By combining the assurance of alignment with public policies and ongoing control mechanisms, public administrations can ensure that digital public services deliver tangible benefits, remain sustainable, and uphold the principles of accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness. This principle emphasises the need for strategic coherence, resource optimisation, and consistent evaluation to achieve impactful public policy outcomes. |
| dct:description | (Implications) To ensure alignment with public policy objectives, digital public services must clearly address societal needs and be prioritised based on their value and impact. Resources should be allocated efficiently, focusing on services that provide tangible benefits while avoiding unnecessary expenditures. Public administrations must establish systems to monitor and evaluate the progress, efficiency, and outcomes of these services, ensuring they remain aligned with policy goals. Collaboration across government bodies is essential to maintain coherence, with clear accountability for achieving results. Additionally, digital services should be designed to be adaptable and interoperable, enabling seamless collaboration and flexibility to respond to evolving needs. Finally, active engagement with citizens and businesses is vital to ensure services are relevant and effective in addressing real societal challenges. |
