Development of an information network to ease the cooperation between public authorities, NGOs, business and citizens in the cross-border region Bulgaria-Romania

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Romania - Bulgaria

Date of latest update: 2023-06-29

Description

Description (EN):

The overall attitude to Romanian and Bulgarian public authorities is largely negative and most public services offered are cumbersome, time and resource – consuming. In today’s fast and technologic world, it is extremely important to respond quickly and offer one-stop-shop services and electronic ones. The main objective of the project is to establish an efficient and effective innovative tool for better cooperation/ coordination among public and private stakeholders at cross-border level. The budget resources will be used for value-for-money solutions in order to fulfil the objective, the project outputs and results. The foreseen activities include a detailed study and analysis, the development of an online platform and a public-private network for better cooperation, the elaboration of a strategy and a lot of informational activities. The online platform will be used for presenting the activities of the public authorities in a more accessible, transparent and easy to use way and enable them to interact more successfully among themselves and with the non-public sector. Other tangible results will be the cooperation agreements signed between interested stakeholders, the detailed study of the needs and problems, the opportunities and the measures to be taken to solve existing problems or prevent new ones, the elaborated strategy for future operation of the platform and the E-GovNet network of public and non-public entities, which will all lead to better coordination.

Achievements (EN):

The project is finalized. After the partnership reorganization following B2 officially withdrawn from the project, the activities were carried out and the project results were reached, including: A joint study on the current situation on public e-services in RO and BG has been made. The strategy for improvement of the environment regarding public services in the CBA Bulgaria-Romania under E-GoverNet project, was drafted based on the outcomes of the study and analysis previously carried out by both LB and B2. The strategy and its full translation in EN has been uploaded on the web platform E-GoverNet. The teams of both project partners held meetings with representatives of public authorities in the CBA and encourage them to take part in the project activities and join the Network. 13 cooperation agreements with different public authorities or NGOs from the cross-border area, were signed. Promotional activities were carried out by the project partners, including elaboration of promotional materials and organization of meetings with stakeholders for disseminating the project results. Outside of the regular activities of the project, the E-GoverNet project was among the four selected projects which were promoted to the workshop with the theme “Boosting cross-border regions with eGovernment solutions”, event organized by DG Regio on 09.10.2018 in Brussels during the European Week of Regions and Cities. The E-GoverNet web platform has been developed and is available in all three languages at the link https://www.e-gover.net/index.
