The meeting, chaired by the Minister of Communications and Technology, Mohamed Aden Moallim, focused on how to unify government systems, build a unified database, and accelerate modern, technology-based service delivery.
The meeting was attended by the ministers of Finance, Planning, Education, Commerce, Health, Labor, Security, and Interior, as well as officials from the Prime Minister’s Office and Villa Somalia.
The officials agreed that it is of particular importance to have a unified system for government data, to facilitate access to information and services needed by citizens.
