eGov Foundation, a non-profit organization, and Compliance Professionals have announced their joint efforts to improve governance in Nigeria through open digital public infrastructure (DPI) deployments. The two groups have partnered to facilitate the implementation of eGov Foundation’s DIGIT, an open-source service delivery and governance platform, across federal, state, and public sector organizations in Nigeria. The aim of the collaboration is to promote e-governance, ensure statutory compliance, optimize revenue generation, and enhance government performance.
According to Viraj Tyagi, CEO of eGov Foundation, the organization is committed to providing support, documentation, and knowledge to help Nigeria realize the digital transformation possibilities available through the DIGIT platform. Meanwhile, Ifueko M. Omoigui Okauru, Managing Partner of Compliance Professionals Plc, has expressed her belief that the collaboration will nurture a strong bond between the two organizations to achieve their common objective of improving governance in Nigeria.
DIGIT is an open, interoperable, free-to-use platform that offers solutions for citizens, first-mile employees, administrators, commercial players, and policymakers for delivering citizen services and improving governance. The platform has gained recognition as the preferred platform for delivering citizen services and enhancing governance. India’s National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM) also relies on the power of DIGIT to drive its initiatives.
