Urgent Request for Decentralization of Digital Infrastructure Control to Enhance Local Governance

To address the critical issue of digital infrastructure controls by central authorities, we are compelled to issue this urgent call to action. The current centralized control over digital resources severely limits the ability of local governance to adapt technology to meet specific community needs, stifling innovation and responsiveness. Local councils require the autonomy to customize systems like ERPs, CRMs, and GIS, ensuring they are tailored to local contexts, enhancing resource management, and improving citizen services. Moreover, technologies must be culturally and linguistically relevant, particularly with AI models that should resonate with local languages and cultures. Decentralization would not only spur innovation in administrative processes, public engagement, and digital financial solutions but also empower citizens through better platforms for interaction, transparency, and accountability. We propose that the central government grant local control over digital infrastructure while maintaining national standards, foster global partnerships for funding and expertise, and encourage local tech development through incentives. This approach would lead to enhanced governance, stimulate economic growth by creating tech-related job opportunities, and empower communities with improved access to services and information. We call on the central government to reevaluate the current model, actively engage with local councils, and implement policies that decentralize control, making our governance model more inclusive, innovative, and responsive to the unique needs of our diverse regions. Immediate action is necessary for the future of our governance and our nation.

Developing Initial Land Use Plans for Inhabited Islands
Recognizing the importance of well-defined plans, by collecting comprehensive data on environmental factors, existing infrastructure, and population demographics. To ensure that the plans reflect the needs and aspirations of the community, the council will actively engage with residents, businesses, and community leaders through island councils. Once developed, the plans will be presented for public review and adoption, and then submitted to the planning ministry for approval. The council will oversee the implementation and monitoring of these plans, ensuring they continue to serve the evolving needs of the island communities.

Enhancing local council governance through digital transformation
Noonu Atoll Council is embracing digital transformation to modernize local governance. Council will establish a strong digital foundation to support our initiatives. This includes transitioning to a full Enterprise resource planning environment integrated with a customer relationship management system, a public engagement platform, an official digital ID system and a digital banking and payment system for increased efficiency, security, and convenience. To ensure a smooth transformation, we will conduct a digital assessment and planning process. Finally, we will prioritize digital initiatives based on their impact and feasibility on our atoll's needs.
