BANGKOK (NNT) - With different sides contributing to digital government development, the United Nations (UN) has placed Thailand higher on its E-Government Development Index.

 

Government Spokesman, Anucha Burapachaisri, said today that Thailand ranked 57th out of 193 countries in the E-Government Development Index, according to the 2020 edition of the UN E-Government Survey, moving up from the 73rd spot in 2018 and 77th spot in 2016. Thailand achieved high scores, thanks to improved online services and telecommunication infrastructure. In the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Thailand ranked third, with the first two being Singapore and Malaysia.

 

In the survey, Thailand ranked 51st in the E-Participation Index (EPI), which measures how well governments use digital technology to engage their citizens in making government policies and decisions related to budgeting, procurement and complaints. The kingdom moved up from the 82nd spot in 2018, and remained third in ASEAN.

 

Singapore and Malaysia were the top two.

 

Mr. Anucha said the Thai government has been active in transforming itself into a digital government through the implementation of the digital government development plan for 2020 to 2022. As a result, Thailand has received recognition on the global stage.
