Rethinking the digital dividend: Government needs to deliver better citizen digital experiences. Deloitte and Adobe.
Australian government agencies are making the transition to digital experience platforms.  
Improved digital experiences have higher levels of satisfaction and can improve perceptions of government effectiveness and trust. This is important because trust in the Federal Government has been declining - from 49% in 2015 to just 42% in 2019. And while trust can wax and wane over time for a variety of reasons, Australia currently sits within the ranks of 16 national governments worldwide that are more distrusted than trusted (Edelman, 2019).
This eBook suggest that Governments need to renew their commitment to digital transformation – not with more 'IT projects' - but by focusing on improving and simplifying citizen experiences of government services, though better use of data and build digital platforms that support it.

Guide to Developing a National Cybersecurity Strategy - ITU
The National Cybersecurity Strategy Guide, is aimed at providing an aggregated and harmonised set of principles and good practices on the development, establishment and implementation of national cybersecurity strategies.
Facilitated by ITU, twelve partners from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society agreed to share their experience, knowledge and expertise, producing a Guide that gathers existing know-how from the participating organisations as well as providing references to complementary publications, in order to ease access to available resources.
Cybersecurity is a fundamental factor in achieving socio-economic development. Yet, only seventy-six countries around the world have, publicly available, national cybersecurity strategies. It is therefore imperative to boost efforts to produce them. As the title suggests, the objective of the Guide is to instigate strategic thinking and help national leaders and policy-makers to develop, establish and implement national cybersecurity strategies
