Summary: Overall objective of the project is to increase the administrative capacity and e-readiness of local and regional authorities in providing socially significant public services through cooperation and implementation of e-government solutions in cross-border region. Specific objectives of the e-G2C project are: 1. Architecture of solutions (including related regulations, administrative process, data structure, ICT architecture and users´ competences) to enable the provision of cross-border municipal e-services; 2. Creation and implementation of 2 socially most relevant e-services related to archive data in the project-partners municipalities; 3. Dissemination of the information about tested and approved e-solutions to other interested local and regional authorities in the Program area. The public sector services in obtaining specific information and documents (that should face the needs of the citizens who are living in border areas) are not met the way it should be in the modern information society. Discrepancy between existing citizens´ needs and administrative capacity, especially if they are located in opposite sides of the border, resulting in major time and material losses, also social tensions rising. Opportunities in using e-government solutions by public authorities both internally and across the border are underutilized. It is important to prepare concept and implement cooperative pilot projects to rise know-how and improve service provision taking into account the needs to offer services in both side of the border in the same quality level. Target regions are Ida-Virumaa in Estonia, Kingisepp and Slantsy regions in Leningrad Region in Russia. Final beneficiaries of this project are the population of immediate cross border partner regions in Ida-Virumaa and Leningrad Region. Cross-border cooperation in solving identified problems is essential for implementation of this project. Only jointly developed solutions will set ground for practical e-governance which expands the boundaries of local authorities´ capacities and makes public service more friendly for the users irrespective on which side of the border they live.
