EDN
Estrategia Digital Nacional 2021-2024, the national digital strategy.
How the laws define this
Both national strategic frameworks agree that EDN represents a high-level executive instrument establishing guiding principles, objectives, and administrative responsibilities to drive public sector digital transition. Each instrument sets a mission or ambition for governance and requires public bodies to carry out coordinated digitalization efforts. However, the instruments diverge in their operational scope, target domains, and implementation mechanisms. The Acuerdo que expide la Estrategia Digital Nacional 2021-2024 focuses specifically on internal federal administration within the Administración Pública Federal, directing lines of action for federal digitalization, connectivity, interoperability, and information security. In contrast, under Portugal's Resolução do Conselho de Ministros n.º 207/2024, the Estratégia Digital Nacional establishes a broader ambition for 2030 that spans four distinct dimensions—People, State, Companies, and Infrastructures—and explicitly incorporates measurable targets alongside governance mechanisms to execute the transition across the whole country.
