Liberia prepares to digitise 16 public services

The Liberian government is preparing to digitise 16 priority public services with World Bank support, aiming to simplify procedures and make government departments more efficient. The project notably includes a single online services platform, an inter-institutional data-sharing system and the modernisation of data centres, reports FrontPage Africa.

The Liberian government has begun, with support from the World Bank, preparing the digitalisation of 16 priority public services, reports Frontpageafricaonline. The project is intended to enable citizens to access several procedures through a single online platform.

At the heart of the initiative is the e-Liberia platform, designed as a digital one-stop shop bringing together government services. The system should also enable public institutions to share information more effectively and make services more accessible and responsive.

The project comes as Liberia continues to strengthen its public infrastructure, notably through the modernisation programme of the Liberian airport authority, which provides for $59 million in investment.
