Colombia’s Ministry of Information, and Communication Technologies (MinTIC) and the National Planning Department (DNP) unveiled the government’s National Digital Strategy (NDS) for 2023-2026. Through this public policy instrument, the government aims to articulate its vision of leveraging the access and use of digital technologies to tackle domestic economic, social, and environmental challenges.
The strategy is closely aligned with the digital transformation policies enshrined in the National Development Plan (NDP) 2022-2026, approved in 2023. Expanding the deployment of connectivity infrastructure, establishing the internet as an essential public service, and strengthening e-government are earmarked in the NDP as key ICT goals for the Petro administration all of which match with the new digital strategy.
