These systems will enable local and national government agencies to handle transactions more efficiently and secured, improving service delivery and fostering a more transparent government.
The event was attended by local chief executives, heads of different government line agencies and stakeholders and culminates in the signing of the Commitment Wall to formalize the partnership between the local government units and the DICT.
