As the technology landscape evolves rapidly, government of PNG is moving in the right direction to use digital technology to manage, direct, and regulate public sector operations and services.

The government of PNG (GoPNG) through the PNG Department of Information and Communications Technology and its partners have put in policies, strategies, and frameworks in place to ensure effective and responsible use of digital resources, data, and technology within the government.

The three-day PNG Digital Delivery Workshop wrapped up with a strong emphasis on interoperability, a critical element in achieving a seamless and efficient digital government.

Several crucial points emerged regarding advancing digital governance in Papua New Guinea.

Emphases were placed on collaboration, practical approaches like aligning technology stacks, and the identification of opportunities for digitalization.

The workshop concluded with a call for continued collaboration and communication among government agencies and stakeholders to effectively implement the GovStack and harness the full potential of digital transformation in the country
