Essential partnerships with the Local Government Authority (LGA) and National Center for Information Technology (NCIT) will be established to facilitate project implementation. A competitive tender process will be initiated before July 25th to select a suitable service provider for the project. A formal agreement will be executed with the chosen service provider to implement the digital transformation initiative. The Atoll Council commits to exploring additional funding avenues through grants and other external sources to optimize project resources. The successful execution of this digital transformation initiative is contingent upon the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.
