The countries of the Visegrad Four in the V4 region are interconnected by similar procedures of the two decades of democratization of society, decentralization of public administration and implementation of ICT to process the state agenda and carry out activities which belong  purely to the scope of responsibilities of local governments. The procedures implemented in individual countries of the V4 take the strategic concepts, adopted by and discussed on the EU level, including Digital Agenda for Europe, for the basis. For regional self-government units, the typical areas from the point of view of implementation of ICT and innovations are: electronic communication of residents with authorities, work with data about the area, care about sustainable growth of the municipality/region and other fields related to local governments. The other important tasks carried out by regional self-government units are: support of eParticipation of residents, involving them in the events in the municipality/region and strengthening of partner relationships with municipalities and regions of other countries in order to cooperate and exchange experience within a broader, international context.
Project Local Digital Agenda in V4 Countries (LDA-V4) concentrates on the mapping of situation in the V4 countries from the point of view of strategic framework, institutional arrangement, legislative environment, use of the programs of financing and cooperation, state and local governments. The project further compares the situation in V4 countries in the European as well as worldwide context on the basis of indicators for the field of ICT and eGovernment. It presents examples of good practices, overall assessment of the situation in V4 countries and brings ideas for further actions. At the ITAPA conference, the preliminary results of the almost completed project LDA-V4 will be presented. Vysočina region is in charge of the project in cooperation with the partners from V4 countries.
