eCitizen

The e-Citizen project is a nation-wide project that focuses on developing cooperation between Estonian citizens and the public sector through the Internet. In the course of the project the e-citizen environment is created, which enables the citizen to conveniently obtain information about services provided by the state and the citizen's rights and obligations. It enables people to participate more actively in the public life at national, regional and local level and to communicate with all national information systems through their personal information system.Vision: By 2004 all state and local government agencies will be providing services through the Internet. 60% of the population will be using the Internet on a daily basis. There will be a citizen portal in function, which would include the following:

Situation layer (citizen's manual)

Services layer (standard services)

Direct services (access)

Procedural services (access)

E-democracy systems (access)

Citizen's document management system, e-mailbox

My portal
 

Project e-Citizen is related to other programs, such as X-road and ID-card, and systems that develop e-democracy (e-elections, TOM - Today I Make Decisions, e-County etc).
