Description

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENTRAL STATE PORTAL
63
Implementation of the measure is under way and will continue until 21 August 2020
Leader of the measure OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
Description of the measure
Which public issue does the measure address? It is necessary to continue integrating the internet pages of state
administration bodies on the Central State Portal. Given the limitations
noted in the current version of the Central State Portal, and the specific
issues related to individual state administration bodies which cover wide
fields, the set-up must be improved by adapting it to the specific
demands of individual bodies. Within the e-Citizens system, work must
continue to develop electronic services for citizens in line with their
needs. For the My Administration page, an analysis of user satisfaction
should be conducted, along with confirming further user needs, so that
the page content can be improved. From May 2016 to May 2017, the
Central State Portal was visited 1,278,505 times and 3,400,499 pages
were consulted.
What does the measure include? The measure includes improving the content and design of the Central
State Portal. It should be the central site where physical and legal
persons can get information on services provided by public authorities,
and the central place for access to electronic services. The expected
results will be a redesigned portal (in accordance with the analysis of
user experiences related to e-Citizens and the Central State Portal
already conducted, and the new Directive from the European
Commission on easier access to web pages).
In addition, it is necessary for as many state bodies as possible to
transfer to the joint system for managing web page content (CMS)
owned by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, which guarantees
content will be stored in a single place in the centre for shared services.
How does the measure contribute to resolving the public
issue?
A good quality, simple, consistent web page which fulfils a service for
citizens can contribute to increased use. By improving the arrangement
of information and services, it will be easier and more accessible to use.
The introduction of new visual elements and links with functionality will
64
mean that the pages work as a unit to link citizens and information.
Transferring to a joint system for managing the web page content of
state bodies will have a unifying effect and create budget savings, as it
will no longer be necessary for each body to make an individual contract
for web page development and storage.
Why is this measure relevant to the values of the Open
Government Partnership?
The measure is relevant to transparency, since it improves the quality of
published information by increasing the number of items in high-quality,
updated form, and improves public access to information by improving
the user interface, making it easier to access content and electronic
services.
Additional information • The measure is in accordance with the e-Croatia 2020 Strategy
