According to Ukrainian 2020 strategy of the President of Ukraine, eGovernment and the increase of eServices is on top of the agenda. First of all, because avoiding human factor allows to decrease corruption.

Most of basic eServices are heavy, require infrastructure, legal base and profiled suppliers to deliver solutions. Ukraine doesn’t have neither time, nor resource to implement those sooner than 2017.

Smart in-house production, open API, hackathons and acceleration is a ‘secret sauce’ that allows to create fast roll-out of robust eServices with minimum resources. With the support of State eGovernment Agency, Presidential Administration, Ministry of Economics these services will become a part of State’s e-ecosystem.

These eServices may be incorporated as a part of Ministries’ websites and mobile applications. Open API and hackathons will streamline production with the help of IT-market, IT-enthusiasts and involve civic society into the design process of eServices.
