The digital divide of developing countries vis-à-vis developed countries is also reflected in the level of e-Government development. Developing countries face the challenges of e-Government with reduced capacities and resources but also strong incentives for growth prospects.
Developing e-Government as a complex phenomenon involves multidisciplinary efforts: the development of electronic communications infrastructures and data infrastructures, the transformation of internal business processes of government, increased democracy, education, as well as a sustained economic level, and so on.
The research analyses the level of e-Government development in the Republic of Moldova in a regional context of a group of developing countries. It is an attempt to find particularities and similarities in the evolution of e-Government in this space and to identify the development potential and opportunities and to overcome the gap in this area.
The study also addresses the prospect of alignment with European standards on e-Government development, especially with regard to the single digital market, the European Interoperability Framework and others, as levers and drivers for increasing the socio-economic level of Moldova, and building an open, participative and performing government.
