WEAKNESSES KNOWN
Lack of:• Legal Certainly.• Political will.• Government plans unified in technology issues.• Finish existing plans on e-government and ICT issues.• There is no complete certainty about the infrastructure of institutions and there is no
investment plan for all State as one itself. All institutions carry out their own plans according to the needs of the new heads of technology.
• Coverage online and personal at public services are in urban centers and has left for side coverage and investment in far away places where there is no basics services.
• Many isolated efforts have not been sufficient for the citizen's demands . There is no State policy to study what are the basic services that should cover and transform them to public services online.
• There are still directors belonging to previous generations who do not support the technology and they are of the generational gaps.
• Loyalties to the current authorities rather than general public.• Not sufficient planning information for adequate investment decisions and/or monitoring
and tracking the outcomes of investments.
FORTRESSES KNOWN
The great strengths are:• Young people with affinity to technology issues.• Educational institutions promoting technical careers in technological issues.• Technical staff in all public institutions with knowledge about e-government and ICT
willing to create work teams to promote the culture of e-government and ICT.• Mature public services ready to migrate to online versions.• The phenomenon of the incursion of social networks have allowed citizens to show their
interest in the State progress on transparency and Electronic Government.• The international community of friendly countries have shown interest in cooperating with
Guatemala on issues of transparency and Electronic Government, forcing the state to open the opportunity to transform itself.
• The ability of the State technical staff to develop online public services has been demonstrated, which suggests that the adoption of the digital agenda would not be complex.
• Institutions like GUATEL can be strengthened to be able to interconnect all institutions of the Executive Organism with a very low cost.
• OGP member since 2012 with second development plan with more than 75% successful.
CONCLUSIONS
Best efforts:• Education and training program from INAP and COPRET in e-government issues.• In 2014, COPRET called for creation of a High Level Group for e-Government issues, in
which SENACYT INAP, MINISTRY OF FINANCE, and GUATEL joined.• Workshops about e-government and ICT best practices shared with all institutions from
Executive Organism including plans 1,0; 2.0 and 3.0 with all their projects.• It was Shared with the country's Colleges plans to include in the educational curriculum

• Implementation of office paperless plan in all ministries of the executive Organism.• Implementation of the website from national catalogue of online public services .• First inventory of computers, servers and printers of the ministries of the Executive
Organism
CONCLUSIONS
Some efforts unfinished:• Approval in the Congress the law that makes permanent COPRET• Approval the digital agenda• Strengthen GUATEL to build strong and private infrastructure for the State in all
dimensions that already have legally assigned to GUATEL. This implicates that all public institutions leave private telecom services with high cost and the possibility of being target of cyberattacks, compromising national security, confidential data and possibility of disable institutional datacenters.
• The evaluation concerning a new data center for the public institutions of the Executive Organism. This does not mean abandoning what is already working but efficiently integrate what already exists and complement with public institutions needs.
• The agreements with private telecoms companies to make all websites for the State are free of charge for citizens. This private telecoms companies uses State goods, pay very small fees to use these goods, but charge very high fees to users, including the State.
• Agreement to standardize e-government and ICT policies in Executive Organism, Legislative Organism, Judicial Organism and local governments to promote transparency, accountability and citizen participation.
