Under the theme "Empowering Communities Through Digital Infrastructure", the summit highlighted the pivotal role of technology in bridging gaps, enhancing inclusivity, and driving sustainable governance.

Advancing Local Governance and Climate Resilience
The summit placed a strong emphasis on using digital infrastructure to empower local governance, enhancing citizen engagement, and closing the gaps in service delivery between islands and rural areas. This commitment was further reinforced by discussions on climate resilience, focusing on leveraging technology to safeguard environmental heritage while fostering sustainable development. Practical solutions, such as GIS-based land management and AI-powered tools like DhivehiGPT, provided actionable pathways for building resilient communities.
A Call to Action
The DigiGov Summit 2024 ended with a resounding call for collaboration and innovation. Leaders and experts urged local councils to adopt cutting-edge technologies and work closely with innovators to build systems that are transparent, sustainable, and responsive. By prioritizing decentralized governance models, the goal is to empower every island and community, creating a brighter and more equitable future for all.
“This summit has demonstrated that by harnessing the power of digital tools, we can achieve inclusive and impactful governance that is tailored to the needs of our people,” said President Mohamed Basheer during his closing remarks.
