Description (short summary):  
The Government has great ambitions for the public sector. A strong and efficient public sector is needed to ensure a good development for the Norwegian society. Digitisation will generate noticeable improvements across the public sub-sectors during the coming years. Digitisation will result in both more positive and faster interaction with the public sector for citizens and businesses alike as well as more efficient use of public sector resources. This is a presentation of the Government’s main policy elements for the digitisation programme for the public sector.

 The objectives of the Government are that:

• the public sector is to be accessible online to the extent possible;
• the web-based services are to be the general rule for the public sector’s communication with citizens and businesses;
• a digital public sector is to result in improved services;
• digitisation of the public sector is to free up resources for areas in need of more resources.

The ambition of the Government is that Norway shall be at the forefront internationally in terms of development of a digital public sector.
