%X Today, in the ¡°digital age¡± and the ¡°knowledge
society¡±, the modernization of the public sector at the international level and
the addressing of its inherent, structural weaknesses in the way of
organization, establishment and operation, are unthinkable without the generalized
use and exploitation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
E-Government today is expanding rapidly in all developed countries and is
intertwined with growth and progress. The current COVID-19 pandemic has
demonstrated the importance of digital resources in our economies and societies
and has been a driving force for the rapid promotion of the digital
transformation of states and the establishment of integrated, interoperable and
extrovert information systems. The purpose of this paper is to examine the
level of digital transformation achieved in Greece and Cyprus, in accordance
with the countries¡¯ political and institutional commitments towards the
European Union, as well as e-government as a reform tool for modernizing and
addressing the inherent problems of the Greek and Cypriot public
administration. In particular, the Digital Economy and Society Index <a href=\"#ref14\">(DESI,
2022)</a> on Cyprus and Greece data are presented and a comparative analysis of the
existing situation regarding E-Government in Greece and Cyprus is made, while
at the same time, the average of E-Government of the Member States of the
European Union is being compared. This comparative analysis covers at European
level and includes digital skills, broadband connectivity, internet use,
cybersecurity and the Information and Communication Technologies sector of the
Member States.
