Abstract: Abstract This research explores the potential of a shared platform government approach called “Government as a Platform (GaaP).” It presents recommendations for Egypt and other nations seeking a digital government based on the model components and relevant supporting ecosystem. It examines the experiences of three countries, Estonia, India, and the United Kingdom, that have adopted the platform model, focusing on significant projects and approaches that have contributed to the platform of their governments. The research examines and analyses of the local experts’ views on Egypt's digital transformation program. The findings suggest that Egypt needs to develop a conducive governance and legislative environment suitable for a platform government, optimize public data for better service delivery, and appoint a national chief information officer to oversee the model implementation. The research concludes that Egypt is developing its unique model for digital government, emphasizing inclusivity, speed of implementation, and opportunities to optimize the wealth of public data.
