ABSTRACT This study aims to compare and examine e‐government development indices in landlocked Central Asia, highlighting significant challenges faced in e‐government development and opportunities that can be maximized. This study uses qualitative methods with secondary data obtained from the EGDI data through the United Nations website. For map visualization, the author uses Google Looker Studio and data graphs using Microsoft Excel, followed by comparative analysis. The findings of this study of Central Asian countries, the EGDI 2024 score survey, show that only three countries, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, exceed both the global and Asian averages. The global average score in 2024 is 0.64, while the Asian average is 0.70, leaving Tajikistan (0.57) and Turkmenistan (0.48) below the average. This study contributes to the digital literature by providing a comparative and specific perspective on countries facing challenges in e‐government.
