Description

Background Timor-Leste, as a developing nation in Southeast Asia, has made significant strides in promoting digital transformation across various sectors of governance. With the increasing global dependence on technology, digital governance has become crucial in fostering an inclusive, transparent, and effective public service delivery system. In line with this, the Government of Timor-Leste has recognized the need to accelerate the digitization of its public services and enhance digital literacy across its population, particularly in remote and underserved areas. The Dalan Digital Project aims to strengthen the digital infrastructure and services in Timor-Leste, promoting digital citizenship and enhancing the government's capacity to deliver public services digitally. The project's overarching goal is to contribute to the creation of a more digitally empowered society, where citizens can access essential services through innovative, efficient, and secure digital platforms. In this regard, Dalan Digital will focus on promoting digital inclusion, improving the quality of public services, and enhancing transparency in government processes. The project aligns with Timor-Leste’s national strategies, including the Timor Digital 2032 Vision, which sets a roadmap for leveraging digital technologies to foster economic development, social inclusion, and governance reforms. The Dalan Digital Project also complements ongoing initiatives under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of State Administration and the Ministry of Justice to bring public services closer to citizens and improve institutional capacity in the public sector. In addition to fostering digital transformation within the government, Dalan Digital aims to strengthen public-private partnerships, foster collaboration with international development partners, and support the development of a digital ecosystem that empowers youth, women, and marginalized communities to fully participate in the digital economy.
