E-GOVERNMENT ARCHITECTURE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A CASE OF PUBLIC ENTITIES IN VIETNAM

Abstract

The application of information technology in the actions of state agencies toward the creation of e-government is an inevitable trend and a popular model in many nations; constructing e-government has become a crucial undertaking, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the top objective of any government, e-government enables individuals to engage, obtain government services, boost transparency, decrease expenses, and enhance operational efficiency. This article suggests an e-Government Architecture Framework produced by Vietnam's National Foundation for Science and Technology Development, a government agency. This framework was developed as a research framework to expand in developing countries to improve their capacity to connect, integrate, share, and reuse information deployed at these agencies and the National Systems (National Document Unified Axis System and National Government Service Platform) and national data databases (National Database on Business Registration; National Land Database and National Database on Population). The proposed framework will increase the adaptability of the procedure for building and deploying information systems and components under local requirements.
