As a result of the analysis determined the main directions of digitization of public administration in Ukraine, which considers the features of modern conditions (electronic document flow and electronic services; Open Data, electronic identification, and digital signature; e-governance; artificial intelligence, and data analytics). The advantages and disadvantages of these processes in the context of the implementation of regional strategies are also investigated. The component strategies of digitization of public administration and indicators of its effectiveness are outlined, which will allow us to adjust the directions of development and control points of such a strategy in the future.
