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.
