Digital Government is the use of ICT to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector operation and service delivery; or alternatively, the use by governments of ICTs to transform relations with citizens, businesses and within government.<\/span><\/p>\n Digital government promotes and improves stakeholder contributions to development, as well as deepens the governance process. Digital government involves rethinking organizations and processes and changing behaviour so that public services are delivered more efficiently to people. Digital government in its basic form is about automating and computerizing systems and transactions which in turn leads to increased transparency, accountability, and decreases the opportunities of gratifications.<\/p>\n Digital Government is designed to promote and improve stakeholder contributions to development, as well as to deepen the governance process. It does this by increasing the quality of government service delivery, allowing for better use of government infrastructure and resources. It also provides for improved governance, empowers the private sector to partner with the government to develop Digital Government services and increases transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

socio-economic development is undeniable, as a result, the Government of PNG established the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to lead its digital transformation initiatives.<\/p>\n With the establishment of its Corporate plan, the Digital Transformation Policy in 2021, the passing of the Digital Government Act 2022, and now its alignment with the Government\u2019s Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP 4) Strategic Priorities 2 and 8, the Department of ICT now focuses on delivering effective digital service and improve the ICT space in a whole of government approach.<\/p>\n A quick recap on DICT\u2019s core divisions in its Digital Government wing.<\/p>\n DICT holds a pivotal position within the government of PNG, aiming to harness the power of technology to advance the nation\u2019s development agenda. Under the vision of \u201cDigitally Empowered Papua New Guinea,\u201d DICT provides strategic leadership, guidance, and support to various government agencies and stakeholders in their journey towards achieving Digital Government.<\/p>\n DICT is structured into several core divisions, each with a distinct mandate to facilitate the implementation of digital initiatives and foster ICT innovation in the country. The department developed a framework for which each of the divisions align to deliver on specific to shared projects, which is the Government Technology Stack.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][ba_icon_box title=”Government Cloud & Shared Services” description=”The Government Cloud and Shared Services division offers a centralized platform for government agencies to host and access digital services and applications.
