recovery and resilience plans (NRRPs) from a multilevel governance perspective. It seeks to present the current state of affairs, examine how existing policy is working on the ground, and identify best practice and ideas for the future on the part of governmental organisations at all levels of the European system of multilevel governance. It presents an initial appraisal of available evidence and takes as its starting point digital public services in the NRRPs of Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Greece and Slovenia.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Summary of findings</h2> <p>EPRS initial analysis of measures relating to digital public services in the national recovery and resilience plans (NRRPs) of Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Greece and Slovenia, complemented by additional sources, leads to the following conclusions.</p> <p>Overall, local and regional authorities state that their involvement in the preparation of the NRRPs, as well as their ownership of the plans, are limited. They feel they are observers rather than active participants in the process, with a few exceptions. These findings appear to be confirmed in the area of digital public services, where their involvement would be essential. The authors of this briefing received few evidence sources on the subject of analysis. The reason for this could be that sub‑national authorities may not easily be able to distinguish digital public services from other strands of the digital transformation measures included in the NRRPs. Moreover, they may not be in a position to know – or provide evidence on – digital public service measures affecting them, with limited exceptions.</p> <p>In all six Member States under analysis, the top two categories in terms of allocated budget are the general ‘IT solutions, e-services and interoperability’ categories, including at regional level (ranging from 33 % to 89 %), followed by health (ranging from 6 % to 66 %). Overall, transport, justice and digital identity are allocated proportionally fewer funds. Interoperability and the regional dimension are a feature of several measures. When looking at the three largest measures relating to digital public services in the NRRPs of the six countries under review, between 43 % and 89 % of the budget is allocated to them.</p> <p>Typically, digital public service measures under review in this briefing try to ensure coherence with national plans. However, limited evidence has been found of attempts to ensure coherence with regional strategies. When there is co-funding between EU and national money, the contribution of EU funds is recognised only in some cases.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p><strong>Read

The users that are registered in WordPress.com should consult <a href="https://en.wordpress.com/tos/">wordpress.com terms of service</a>. We do collect anonymised aggregate data for statistical purposes. The data collected for this purposes include: number of visits/visitors per page, the country of the user, and aggregate numbers of incoming and outgoing clicks.</p> <p>We determine unique page counts by using a “hashed” version of the visitor’s IP address. The visitor’s full IP address is deleted from our logs after a little over a month. That timeframe is how long the data is needed in order to allow us to calculate your stats on a monthly basis and no longer.</p> <p>We collect your email address only if you proactively requested to be notified about the updates on the blog. You can always contact us to remove your email address from our records or unsubscribe from the notification service.</p> <p>We can also see your name and email address if you made a comment to one of our posts. We do not make the email address visible on the comment. Nevertheless, on request, we can delete your comments.</p> <h3>Cookies</h3> <p>We collect cookies only to facilitate your browsing experience, such as enabling you to share our posts via social media or comment on the post.
