The Government of Gabon and the World Bank sign $68.5 million loan for the Digital Gabon Project to accelerate adoption of digitalized public services and increase the number of persons with a unique ID that facilitates inclusive access to public services.
The agreement was signed by Mays Mouissi, Gabon Minister of Economy and Participations, and Cheick Kante, World Bank Country Director for Gabon. The operation focuses on creating the enabling environment to accelerate digital transformation, by enhancing legal, regulatory, and technological foundations for data protection, cybersecurity, and securing data exchange within the public sector. It will also help modernize legal identity (ID) systems, including the digitalization of the civil registration system and providing a unique ID that facilitates inclusive access to public services.
