Assessing national digital strategies and their governance
The form, content and governance of national digital strategies varies significantly
across countries, and questions have arisen as to what a national digital strategy
should cover and how to govern it. This paper analyses national digital strategies
and their governance across countries. It proposes a novel methodology to assess the
comprehensiveness of national digital strategies using newly collected policy information
and applying the OECD Going Digital Integrated Policy Framework as a benchmark. The
resulting indicator – the NDSC – measures national digital strategy comprehensiveness,
providing insights into the potential of a country’s national digital strategy to
co-ordinate the policies needed to make digital transformation work for growth and
well-being. The NDSC is available interactively on the OECD Going Digital Toolkit.
