The advent of digital technologies has provided opportunities to enhance government transparency and enabled new and more inclusive ways of engaging with the public.
Expected benefits of ICT-enabled openness and transparency:

- More agile, effective and convenient public engagement
- Greater trust in government
- Social well-being and inclusive policy outcomes
- Economic growth
To become more open and transparent, governments are:

Governments and societies should be digitally inclusive:
