Digital Tools in Russia Aim to Cut Bureaucracy
New information systems are expected to reduce administrative burdens on regions.
Electronic document management in the Russian Government’s Executive Office now exceeds 90 percent, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko said at the International Congress on Public Administration. The next stage in developing the administrative information system will focus on reducing bureaucracy. Under the Gilotina Otchetnosti (Reporting Guillotine) project, Russia plans to introduce unified rules for requesting data from regional authorities and lower their administrative burden.
According to Grigorenko, digital technologies have already reduced document approval times to about one and a half days, while issuing regulatory acts now takes just 15 minutes. Manual planning of events and preparation of reports has been cut in half.
AI in Public Service
Civil servants across the country are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence. Grigorenko noted that AI tools help prepare briefing materials and meeting protocols and check spelling.
