Problems
The issues of the public sector: bureaucracy, corruption, and outdated infrastructure
The public sector is often the subject of criticism and controversy due to a series of issues that afflict it. Among these, there are excessive bureaucracy, corruption, and lack of maintenance and modernization of public buildings and infrastructure.
Excessive bureaucracy: an obstacle to the efficiency of the public sector
Excessive bureaucracy represents one of the main obstacles to the efficiency of the public sector. The system of rules and regulations is often too complicated and makes it difficult for citizens and businesses to interact with it, causing delays in administrative processes and a waste of time and resources.
Corruption: a serious problem for the country’s democracy and economy
Corruption is a serious problem that threatens the country’s democracy and economy. It can take many forms, from bribery to personal favors, but the result is always the same: public money is spent improperly, to the detriment of citizens and the country’s economy.
Outdated public infrastructure: the lack of maintenance and modernization as an additional problem of the public sector
The lack of maintenance and modernization of public buildings and infrastructure represents an additional problem for the public sector. Many public buildings are in a state of disrepair and need to be renovated, but often there are not enough financial resources to address these issues. The same applies to infrastructure such as roads and railways, which are often outdated and do not meet the needs of citizens.
Solutions
Blockchain Technology: A Solution to Public Administration Challenges
Blockchain technology is an innovative solution to address many of the challenges facing public administration, such as excessive bureaucracy, corruption, and building and infrastructure maintenance.
Streamlining Administrative Processes: Smart Contracts
Regarding bureaucracy, blockchain can simplify administrative processes through Smart Contracts that automatically activate based on specific conditions. This allows citizens and businesses to interact directly with public administration, eliminating intermediaries and reducing waiting times and bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Fighting Corruption: Transaction Transparency
Blockchain can combat corruption through transaction transparency. Its immutable nature ensures that transactions occur in a transparent and secure manner, preventing data manipulation and corruption.
Maintenance and Modernization of Buildings and Infrastructure: Public Asset Management and Monitoring Systems
Blockchain can contribute to the maintenance and modernization of buildings and infrastructure through Public Asset Management and Monitoring Systems. Its decentralized nature allows for the creation of a sensor network that monitors the status of buildings and infrastructure in real-time, reporting any issues and ensuring timely and efficient maintenance.
Case Studies

GUARDTIME
Estonian company Guardtime has implemented a blockchain platform for the management of health data, with the aim of creating a secure and transparent system for the exchange of information between different healthcare facilities. The platform, called "KSI Blockchain," allows patients to control access to their health information and healthcare facilities to easily and securely share patient data.
BITFURY
Bitfury, a European-based technology company, has collaborated with the Republic of Georgia to create a blockchain-based property registration system. The platform, called "Lanchkhuti," allows Georgian citizens to easily register and verify the ownership of their properties, creating a transparent and secure system that reduces corruption and illegality.
CONSENSYS
ConsenSys, a US-based company specializing in blockchain technology, has collaborated with the city of Dublin to create a blockchain-based platform for verifying the credentials of public administration employees. The platform, called "Civiq," allows public administration employees to upload their professional credentials, which can then be securely and privately verified using blockchain technology.Advantages
How Blockchain Technology is Revolutionizing Administrative Processes
Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the efficiency, transparency, and security of administrative processes. According to the World Economic Forum report in 2018, the use of Blockchain in public procurement management has allowed for a 60% reduction in tender execution times thanks to increased transparency and reduced fraud.
Blockchain and Data Security and Privacy
Blockchain is increasing data security and protecting citizens’ privacy, particularly regarding the management of patient health data. According to a 2020 European Commission study, the use of Blockchain can help ensure the security of health data and protect patients’ privacy.
New Decentralized Public Service Models Thanks to Blockchain
Blockchain technology is enabling the creation of new decentralized and autonomous public service models. According to a 2020 OECD study, the use of Blockchain can enable the creation of new digital identity services, property and title management, and electronic voting.
Global Successes of Blockchain Technology with International Collaboration Initiatives
At the global level, Blockchain technology is having great success, with numerous collaboration initiatives between governments and international organizations. For example, the World Bank has launched a Blockchain pilot project for land registry management in Georgia, improving access to property and reducing fraud.
