GOVERNMENT has reviewed specification standards to enhance digitalisation across public sector institutions while ensuring standards remain relevant and aligned with cutting-edge technology, driving innovation, entrepreneurship and equitable development.
Speaking during a government ICT standards review workshop in Kariba last week, deputy chief secretary for administration, finance and human resources Zvinechimwe Churu said that would also ensure cost efficiency and prudent use of public funds.
However, connectivity challenges in ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) pose a significant hurdle to e-government services.
Secretary for e-Government Technology Unit in the Office of the President and Cabinet Tafara Matekaire said the success of e-government services hinged on robust connectivity across all MDAs.
“We need to ensure that our infrastructure supports seamless data exchange and co-ordination among government agencies,” he said.
“By embracing digital transformation, we can enhance transparency, accountability and citizen engagement. This is a critical step towards achieving our national development goals.”
Speaking at the same workshop, Kariba district development co-ordinator Desmond Anele Gumbochuma said: “Standardising ICT specifications will enable us to streamline processes, reduce costs and improve service delivery. This is particularly important for our rural communities, where access to government services can be
limited.”
