cross-agency collaboration, and the integration of ICT systems, which will see most of government services fully digitised before the end of the second quarter in 2026.

The Head of State outlined his Government’s extensive transformational plans for realising digital Guyana at his first press conference after his re-election to serve a second term as President, on Monday, at the Office of the President.

“As you know, a few days ago I held a meeting with all the IT heads and outlined the digital transformation plan aimed at fully digitalising all government services before the end of the second quarter in 2026. I have announced the appointment of the Chief Technology Officer, who will be supported by the NDMA [National Data Management Authority], to manage the digitisation process and to implement a digital platform to monitor and track key performance indicators for government agencies, ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and efficiency.” The President underscored that the aim is to have an integrated system that works on a common framework across agencies that improves efficiency, transparency and the ease of doing business. “This will apply across all agencies, including the security agencies: the way in which you get a security clearance, the way in which you get your birth certificate, the way in which persons apply for a death certificate. All of these systems are actively being migrated onto a digital platform.” (Newsroom)
