WELCOME
South Africa has a bold vision for the next two decades: to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality. The country’s ambitious National Development Plan aspires to realise these goals by drawing on the energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building up the capabilities of the state, and promoting leadership and partnerships throughout South African society.
A key part of the plan is the transformation of the country’s public agencies. By advancing transparency, creating more e-Government services and one-stop portals, and developing digital skills, South Africa hopes to transform the way it interacts with its citizens in the information age.
It’s a journey we’re ready to support at every stage. Thanks to our unique end-to-end approach to technology-led innovation, plus our deep knowledge of citizen and governmental needs, we’re helping South Africa’s public agencies apply the most impactful ideas using the newest technologies – today.
Read on for a collection of our latest thinking and insights on how we can all come together to make digital government work for South Africa’s citizens.
