As you know, the E-Government ranking in the world is based on the EGDI score. EGDI looks at the most important aspects of an e-government, including the scope, quality of online services, telecommunications infrastructure, and human factors. Specifically, EGDI will be the average of the three indices equivalent to these three aspects.

The first is the Online Service Index (OSI), which is evaluated by the researchers through the National Information Portal, the websites of Ministries such as education and training, labor and social services. , medical, financial … OSI is collected and calculated independently without the involvement of governments at all stages.

Next is the Telecommunication Index (TI), a composite of five components: the proportion of Internet users; Fixed telephone numbers per 100 people; Number of mobile subscribers per 100 people; Number of wireless broadband subscribers per 100 people; and fixed broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants. The United Nations then obtained TI data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).



Finally, the Human Capital Index (HCI), including two components, one is the literacy rate of 15 and older citizens, and the ratio of total enrollment to student population Enrollment is at the elementary, middle school and university, regardless all age.

Through 2014 and 2016, Vietnam’s order of E-Government rankings is 99 and 89 in 193 countries respectively. However, in the ASEAN region, Vietnam has fallen from 5th to 6th in 11 countries.

Although this model has been steadily fixed since 2013, the exact meaning of the values has changed over the survey versions, due to changing perceptions of the potential of E-Government or due to the changing technology background.

Accordingly, Denmark, Australia and South Korea are the top three countries in the E-Government 2018, with 0.9150, 0.9053 and 0.9010 points, respectively. However, the ranking does not mention the countries that are applying Blockchain technology in building e-government such as Estonia.
