The OECD Digital Government Outlook 2026 is the work of the Directorate for Public Governance (GOV), under the leadership of Elsa Pilichowski, Director. It was prepared by GOV’s Government Performance and Indicators Division (GIP), under the direction of Gillian Dorner, GOV’s Deputy Director, and Valerie Frey, Acting Head of Division, and with the supervision of Marco Daglio, Senior Strategy Advisor.
The Outlook was co-ordinated by Felipe González-Zapata. The chapters were drafted by Jamie Berryhill, Chloe Chadwick, Marco Daglio, Cecilia Emilsson, Felipe González-Zapata, Julian Olsen, Seong Ju Park, Mario Restuccia, Kenjiro Taniguchi, James Teague, Tony Tripp, and Ricardo Zapata, and benefited from the feedback and inputs from Gillian Dorner, Valerie Frey, Arnault Pretet, and Conor Das-Doyle. Marco Beltrán-Navarro provided data management and analysis assistance. Administrative support was provided by Imogen Ryan, Polyxeni Stappa and Jocelene Bonneau. Justin Kavanagh, Thibaut Gigou and Sarah Babay provided communications and dissemination assistance. The report benefitted from editorial support from Andrea Uhrhammer and Misha Pinchakov and was prepared for publication and laid out by Meral Gedik.
The country notes which accompany the report were co-ordinated and prepared by Ricardo Zapata and Mario Restuccia with the support of María Stephanía Guzmán and Marco Beltrán-Navarro. The country notes benefitted from the input of Thibaut Gigou and Meral Gedik.
The draft report received comments from Members of the OECD Public Governance Committee (PGC), as well as the OECD Working Party of Senior Digital Government Officials (E-Leaders). Feedback was provided by colleagues from GOV divisions including Public Budgeting and Management (PMB), Infrastructure and Public Procurement (IPP), Global Partnerships, Inclusion and Justice (GPIJ) and Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Open Government (ACIOG). More broadly in the OECD, the directorates for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and Development Co-operation (DCD) also provided valuable input and comments.
The Digital Government Outlook project, including the Digital Government Index and the Open, Useful and Re-usable Data Index, is based on the long-standing work of the OECD on digital government. It has benefitted from the continuous support and expertise of the OECD Working Party of Senior Digital Government Officials (E-Leaders) and its Expert Group on Open Government Data. The OECD is grateful for their contributions, as well as the financial support for this project provided by the governments of Israel, Slovenia, United Kingdom and Brazil.
