The Solomon Islands government has announced plans to strengthen its digital government development program, with a focus on improving connectivity and infrastructure. The country’s economic growth and development heavily rely on the success of this initiative.

Key Areas for Attention

To achieve the goal of strengthening the digital government development program, the government has identified several key areas that require attention:

  • Strengthening National ICT Policy: Ensure the policy includes specific activities, timelines, and costs.

  • Disaster Recovery and Continuity of Operations: Ensure business continuity in case of emergencies.
  • Secure Government Network: Protect sensitive government information.
