Digital Local Government: A Mechanism for Embracing Good Governance. Estonia as a Model

The study concluded that digitisation is a key element in promoting good governance at the local government level. Estonia's experience has demonstrated the role of digital transformation in improving the efficiency of public services, increasing transparency and promoting community participation. By adopting advanced technologies such as integrated electronic platforms and digital identity systems, Estonia has succeeded in overcoming traditional bureaucratic challenges and strengthening accountability. The results also show that the implementation of digital local government contributes to building citizens' trust in public institutions and reducing the gaps between the authorities and civil society, reflecting a practical integration between technological innovation and the requirements of good governance.
