What changes for users: institutions connected, procedures that no longer require a journey, skills trained. And what is holding, when it is.

Three efforts, one logic: a network that reaches the territories, a digital foundation shared across the State, and the skills to keep both running. Taken separately, none produces lasting effects; it is their sequence that matters.
“When a country connects, everything changes: classrooms teach in new ways, healthcare reaches further, markets open up, and the State draws closer to its citizens.”
Each strand has its own page: scope, objectives, flagship projects and lead.
The project covers all 26 provinces, but not at the same pace: ten of them, identified in the Country Partnership Framework, are treated first. That order is published — which is what allows each territory to know where it stands.
Three levels, and one rule: whoever sets direction does not implement. Who chairs, by what majority and how often, is set out on the dedicated page.
A delivery team organised into five clusters, from national steering to provincial liaison.
Public consultations are not briefing sessions: what is said there is recorded and must be taken into account before works begin. Forums, workshops and webinars follow the same rule — you come to contribute, not to attend.
Deployment seen from the ground, province by province.
A project of this kind cannot be run from a single institution: the regulator, sector ministries, the digital agency and the identification body each carry part of the result.
Notices are published as implementation proceeds, across five components and twenty-six provinces. Responding requires an account: it gives access to the bidding files and delivers the addenda, without which a bid is set aside.
Orders of magnitude drawn from the project's results framework. These ambitions guide implementation; they are reviewed periodically with partners and do not constitute a guarantee of results.
These ambitions are not abstractions — they are schools online, women in digital careers and villages brought onto the network.

The people the Project is for — faces, trades and places across the country.
“I used to share one rare textbook. Now I follow courses online — and I've started to code.”
“I now sell across the whole country and get paid by mobile money.”
“Shared records and tele-consultation are changing how we care for patients.”
“I finally know the real market prices — in real time, before I sell.”
