UN experts have made changes to the three main components that form the rating: the Online Service Index (OSI), the Human Capital Index (HCI), and the Telecommunications Infrastructure Index (TII)"
Vadim Glushchenko explained that the OSI index is traditionally assessed based on the values of five sub-indices: institutional framework (IF), service provision (SP), content provision (CP), technology (TEC) and electronic participation (EPI), but some indicators have been changed given new trends in technology and digital government development policies. In 2024, the OSI, which is determined by the normalized values of each sub-index, was calculated based on 183 questions, while in 2020 there were 148 of them.
a new sub-index - E-government bahrain whatsapp number databa se Literacy - which was developed based on data obtained from the analysis of national portals of the participating countries and now also influences the HCI value. It has become another sub-index, complementing the Adult Literacy Rate (AL), Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), Expected Years of Schooling (EYC) and Mean Years of Schooling (MYC).
In the third key component (“Telecommunications infrastructure”), the indicator “fixed broadband subscriptions” was excluded and a new criterion appeared – “affordability”, which UN experts assessed on a par with such indicators as the number of Internet users, mobile phone subscribers and wireless broadband.
In forming the Local Online Service Index (LOSI), the number of indicators for assessment has increased to 95 from the previous 86, and a new indicator, “E-government Literacy,” has been added to measure digital inclusiveness.
Separately, Vadim Glushchenko noted that in Russia the system of collecting and analyzing indicators in the ICT sphere does not coincide with the approaches of the OECD, Eurostat and the World Bank in some respects, including there is a difference in the list of indicators on the basis of which the development of specific areas or sectors is assessed. "For a reasoned expert opinion on how objectively Russia's place in the EGDI 2024 rating is determined, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of all the noted and other new points in the methodology, as well as to carefully verify all the statistical data that was prepared and sent by the Russian side to the UN experts," Vadim Glushchenko believes.
