BLOCKCHAIN AND THE FUTURE OF E-GOVERNMENT: STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICYMAKERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing e-government services, offering increased transparency, security, and efficiency. This article explores the strategic implications of blockchain adoption in public sector governance, focusing on its potential to streamline administrative processes, improve data integrity, and foster citizen trust. Drawing on case studies and empirical research, the paper highlights how decentralized systems can address challenges such as data breaches, inefficiencies, and lack of transparency in traditional governance models. Policymakers are provided with actionable insights into leveraging blockchain to achieve sustainable digital transformation and promote equitable, citizen-centric public services in a rapidly evolving digital landscape
