Abstract: The formulation of the EGOV Strategy of São Tomé e Príncipe has been done using a method to formulate EGOV strategies taking into account international rankings. During the strategy formulation process, government agencies and designated focal points applied the five stages of the method: 1 – Diagnosis and Context Analysis; 2 – Definition of Vision and Principles; 3 – Choice of Thematic Areas and Initiatives; 4 – Identification of Structuring Pillars; and 5 – Definition of Implementation and Evaluation Plans. The method was developed to be flexible and adaptable to the country's context, including selecting international rankings by the team involved. In that case, it was selected the World Bank Worldwide Governance Index (WB/WGI), the United Nations eGovernment Development Index (UN/EGDI), the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report (WB/DB), and the United Nations World Happiness Report (UN/WHR). The method application resulted in an official document approved by the Council of Ministers for 2020 to 2024.
