Almaty, 7 September 2024 (TDI): Kazakhstan has signed licensing agreements with Tajikistan, Sierra Leone, and Togo to share its expertise in developing electronic government systems, Acting Chairman of National Information Technologies (NIT) Dmitriy Mun announced during the first Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Digital Inclusion and Transformation.
The agreements will see NIT provide these countries with the source codes for several e-government information systems, including the E-Peer website builder, Smart Data Ukimet, and Smart Bridge, as a grant.
“We have created over 4,000 websites for various government agencies in Kazakhstan on a unified platform,” Mun stated, referring to the E-Peer website builder that enables the creation of news websites without any programming skills.
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan Collaboration
He added that Kazakhstan’s collaboration with Tajikistan has already resulted in the development of more than five websites using this platform.
These recent agreements reflect Kazakhstan’s progress towards achieving the goals set by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his state-of-the-nation address last year, where he emphasized the need to enhance Kazakhstan’s IT service exports.
Through this initiative, Kazakhstan is positioning itself as an emerging player in the global digital transformation landscape by sharing its know-how in e-government systems.
