Reform calls for digitalisation, and the other way around with Margus Sarapuu

In this episode, governance expert Margus Sarapuu cuts through one of the biggest myths in government transformation: that digitalisation and public administration reform can happen separately. Spoiler: they can’t. From Estonia and Ukraine to Moldova, Bangladesh, and Kosovo, Sarapuu shares why digital reforms often stall and how governments can avoid the trap of layering shiny tech on top of unreformed bureaucracy. If you’re looking at how to build resilient, future-proof governance systems, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now and join the conversation about what it really takes to make government work in the digital age.
