Abstract

This article discusses the process of digitization in the implementation of public policy within developing countries, its critical success factors, challenges, and lessons learned from case studies. Public administration can improve efficiencies, transparency, and effectiveness through the infusion of digital technologies into processes implicated in the making, execution, and evaluation of public policies. Key success factors identified include robust digital infrastructure, clear strategic vision and leadership, effective stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and a supportive regulatory framework. In light of these potential benefits, developing countries experience enormous challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, political instability, socio-political resistance, and gaps in digital literacy. Through a review of empirical case studies from countries such as Estonia, South Korea, China, Bangladesh, and Rwanda, the article identifies key lessons that can inform the digital strategies of other developing nations. The discussion addresses the challenges of sustaining digital infrastructure, including ongoing maintenance costs, the need for continuous technology updates, and the risks of obsolescence. Furthermore, the article explores the significance of capacity building, public-private partnerships, and evolving regulatory frameworks in ensuring the long-term viability of digital policies. The future directions proposed underscore the necessity of adopting adaptable, resilient, and well-governed digital infrastructures to fully realize the benefits of digital public policy in the context of developing countries.
改革发展中国家的公共政策:全面审查数字化实施情况
本文讨论了发展中国家公共政策执行过程中的数字化进程、其关键成功因素、挑战以及从案例研究中汲取的经验教训。通过将数字技术注入公共政策的制定、执行和评估过程,公共行政可以提高效率、透明度和有效性。成功的关键因素包括强大的数字基础设施、清晰的战略愿景和领导力、利益相关者的有效参与、能力建设和支持性监管框架。鉴于这些潜在的好处,发展中国家面临着巨大的挑战,如基础设施不足、政治不稳定、社会政治阻力和数字扫盲方面的差距。通过对爱沙尼亚、韩国、中国、孟加拉国和卢旺达等国的经验案例研究的回顾,文章指出了可以为其他发展中国家的数字战略提供借鉴的关键经验。文章讨论了维持数字基础设施所面临的挑战,包括持续的维护成本、不断更新技术的必要性以及过时的风险。此外,文章还探讨了能力建设、公私合作伙伴关系和不断发展的监管框架对确保数字政策长期可行性的重要意义。所提出的未来发展方向强调,必须采用适应性强、弹性大、管理完善的数字基础设施,以充分实现发展中国家数字公共政策的益处。
