The Estonian Center of Eastern Partnership appreciated the opportunity to cooperate with the e-Governance Academy in organising the e-Partnership Conference which united priorities important to both of us – the digital field and the Eastern Partnership. The overview, which was compiled as a basis for the inaugural conference, provided an adequate and comprehensive analysis of the cyber security and e-democracy situation in the Eastern Partnership countries. I would especially like to highlight the competencies and methodological approach of e-Governance Academy’s experts in creating the situation review which included dozens of interviews with high-level experts and decisionmakers, based on which the data were systemized and analyzed. Moreover, I particularly value the recommendations that were emphasized in the overview and which act as a map to further develop the digital field in the Eastern Partnership countries.
