Digital Journey
Our Digital Journey
Established in 2020 under the first-ever Ministry of E-Governance, the E-Governance and Digitalization Unit is responsible for coordinating the planning and implementation of e-Governance in Belize.
We do this by empowering public sector organizations to design and implement digital transformation projects and creating the enabling environment and infrastructure for a digital government. We take the leading role in designing and implementing Belize’s National Digital Agenda, our digital transformation roadmap.
Through the Digital Government Act, a first of its kind in the region, the E-Governance and Digitalization Unit will evolve into a department with the overall task to promote and lead E-Governance efforts with specific responsibilities in the areas of digital infrastructure, digital Government, and digital transformation.
We execute projects focused on:
- Delivering online public services
- Building digital capacity in public sector
- Improving the policy and legal environment
- Developing infrastructure and shared services
- Fostering a digital society
