Digital Service Center - first stop for users
Description of the action and objectives
Green Deal action
Map out how to improve accessibility, response speed, and simplification in welfare services. This will boost service users' confidence in the services. We need to map out how to strengthen these factors through organization, the right education, administration, and internal communication. The ultimate goal is to improve accessibility, response speed, and simplify our welfare services. To achieve these goals, an online service center will be established as an initial destination for all users of welfare services.
Implementation period
Planned completion in the second half of 2023
Status: Completed
