Djibouti City, Djibouti & Bangalore, India
eGov Foundation (eGov) and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Innovation (MDENI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to catalyze digital transformation across Djibouti. This collaboration will leverage eGov’s DIGIT platform to enhance public service delivery, drive innovation, and support MDENI’s national digital agenda.
The MoU establishes a knowledge partnership between eGov, a global leader in open-source solutions for public services, and MDENI, the visionary ministry spearheading Djibouti’s digital transformation. Among the flagship initiatives, the partnership will focus on implementing the Construction Permit System, an important product for improving urban planning and governance.
The Construction Permit System, powered by the DIGIT platform, will digitize the end-to-end process of building plan approvals, enabling quicker, more transparent, and efficient workflows. This will reduce approval timelines, minimize manual interventions, and enhance service delivery for citizens, architects, and businesses involved in construction and development projects.
