“A country that just works.” Even after three years in government, the Green Party parliamentary group wants this. He published its views in a thesis paper on the Sunday before its future congress in Berlin. A key component in e-government is more steam. A Germany app will eventually be released to introduce “decisive change” in public administration. According to the plan, the mobile application “provides centralized, easy access to all administrative services, whether they relate to matters at the federal, state or local level.” The motto is: “Digital authority instead of dusty fax machines.”

With a “government-as-a-platform” (GaaP) approach, “we can create a proactive and user-friendly service,” see the Greens. on paper Based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. Therefore administrative services should be transferred to the cloud and offered through the Internet. GaaP takes “a lot of applications from people” and lifts them “to where they are today: on their smartphone or tablet”. However, trust in digital systems is essential. The app must therefore “meet the highest standards in terms of data protection and IT security”. Transparency in the management of personal data and clear information about how it is used and protected is essential.

“Our approach to digital governance is not only efficient but also inclusive,” the group also emphasizes: “It provides a barrier-free, multilingual offering and keeps analog access open so that no one is left behind Go.” The Greens do not believe in a widely criticized digital requirement, even though the public sector will need to continue to take a two-pronged approach. The group also sees the need for action from a legal perspective: “So that administrations can reach everywhere in the digital age and act across the board, we want to harmonize digitalization legislation at the federal and state level into a uniform administrative law. ” This is unlikely to be an easy task in the federal system here and will probably involve changes to the underlying law.
According to the current e-Government Monitor 2023 of the D21 initiative, Germany, Austria and Switzerland still lag behind in terms of administrative digitalization. According to this, only 56 percent of German citizens used e-government offerings in 2022. At 58 percent of those surveyed, significantly fewer people are satisfied with the authorities’ online offerings than in neighboring countries. Digital ID cards have recently made a significant leap forward as an important component of e-government: according to the e-Government Monitor 2024, 22 percent now use a related eID function – an increase of 8 percentage points. Other Greens promises include a “mobility guarantee” for public transport and a local renewable energy supply “for you to create and share yourself”.
