Enhancing Governance in Algeria's Services Sector through Digital Transformation: A Comparative Analysis to Reduce Corruption

Abstract Governance in the services sector is a crucial driver of economic development, especially in emerging economies like Algeria. This paper examines how digital transformation enhances governance in Algeria’s services sector, improving efficiency, transparency, and service delivery. Through a comparative analysis of international experiences—such as Estonia’s e-government model, the UAE’s digital governance initiatives, and Singapore’s smart services ecosystem—this study identifies best practices that Algeria can adopt. Additionally, it presents case studies from Algeria’s banking, healthcare, and public administration sectors to assess the impact of digitalization. The paper also discusses key challenges, including digital infrastructure gaps, cybersecurity concerns, and regulatory hurdles. Finally, it proposes strategic policy recommendations to enhance governance through digital solutions, ensuring sustainable economic growth and improved service quality.
