Digital governance enhancement in Guatemala
Digital transformation is reshaping how governments operate, and Guatemala is ready to take a bold step forward. Today, fragmented systems, limited coordination, and a digital divide hinder its prosperity, modern governance, and citizen-centred services.
Over the next 42 months, the EU-funded “Digital Governance Enhancement in Guatemala” project will strengthen governance, boost institutional capacity, and implement interoperability solutions. Through hands-on pilots, co-creation, training, and joint efforts, Guatemalan stakeholders will be stronger to lead a coordinated and widely accepted digital transformation.
The project aims to build a more advanced, efficient, and inclusive digital governance system in Guatemala, where direct stakeholders take full ownership, ensuring sustainable progress aligned with global and European best practices.
Objectives:
- Stakeholders operate within a clear, future-ready digital governance framework.
- Stakeholders manage and sustain the progress through enhanced capacities, and tested interoperability solutions.
- Stakeholders are empowered through strengthened institutional capacity, inclusive engagement, and increased digital awareness.
Outputs:
- Detailed overview of Guatemala’s digitalisation landscape and a practical roadmap of digital transformation activities.
- Recommendations for digital governance strategy and improving legal frameworks based on best practices and national development goals.
- Research on the current interoperability situation in the country, as well as consultancy on implementing interoperability governance and data exchange principles.
- Co-creation sessions, workshops, training and capacity-building sessions to strengthen institutional capacity and raise digital awareness.
The project is coordinated by the e-Governance Academy and implemented in partnership with the Presidential Commission for Open and Electronic Government of Guatemala (GAE).
