Digital Government Transformation Strategy

The CIB formulated the Digital Government Transformation Strategy (DGTS), providing directions for a digital government aligned with Vision 2030, the Public Sector Business Transformation Strategy, and the Digital Mauritius 2030 Strategic Plan.

The strategy aims to accelerate public sector digitisation efforts to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency, offering better services to citizens. It emphasizes the importance of data usage to support government machinery, optimize and transform service delivery, and achieve large-scale business optimization while improving effectiveness.

The DGTS received government approval on 07 December 2018 and was launched by the Ministry of Information Technology, Communication, and Innovation on 19 December 2018.
