One pivotal factor contributing to the comfort—or discomfort—of a nation’s residents is the accessibility and simplicity of government services. In today’s digital era, the significance of digital services cannot be overstated. Armenia is witnessing a rapid evolution in this domain, yet it’s crucial to gauge public sentiment towards these services. How user-friendly are they? Do they truly simplify processes for the average citizen? Understanding this, we have initiated a public evaluation of Armenia’s digital government services as part of the Armenia Digital Awards 2024 by ECDMA.

To participate in the voting, you will need a phone number from one of the operators within the Republic of Armenia. Let’s join hands in shaping a digitally empowered Armenia! #Armenia #DigitalTransformation #EGovernment
