  • DO: Dominican VP underlines challenges to boost digital economy

    Vice President Margarita Cedeno called the digital divide as a source of unacceptable inequality, and said this and six other social obstacles are challenges that lead to achieve better opportunities for all Dominicans.

    Cedeño said that among these commitments are forming a digital citizenship, building an efficient e-government, moving towards an open 'big data' government, boosting the digital economy as the engine of progress, and taking advantage of technology to generate social change and boost digital entrepreneurship and business innovation.

  • DO: Technology as Innovation: Putting Citizens at Center of Govt

    The world is undergoing major changes, but the challenges also bring technological innovations that allow governments to provide for citizens’ needs.

    Technological innovations are an efficient tool to refocus governance on the citizens who make up the state, and are more necessary than ever to help governments define their administrations and build an open platform to communicate with their citizens. Providing for citizens basic needs and services is the essence of good governance; a public administration that is considered and strives to be called an open government.

  • Dominican Republic has its first digitally-signed document

    With the insertion of a secure chip-clad card into a device hooked to a Dell laptop and the entry of the user’s code this Thursday morning, Dominican Republic joins a handful of countries where the Digital Signature is a legal instrument facilitating private and government transactions, representing another solid step toward the globalization era.

    The Spanish company Avansi took the initiative to establish a platform for digital signatures in the country jointly with the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel), whose president Jose Rafael Vargas affirmed that the specialized firm’s interest was the result of a “challenge” Indotel issued to entities to come to the country and implement the digital system.

    Leonel Fernandez held a summit with South Korea's President Roh Moo-hyun earlier Friday, and signed an agreement on building an "e-government" system in Dominican Republic.

  • Dominican Republic: E-government will take the DR out of obsolescence, Fernandez says

    President Leonel Fernandez affirmed that the implementation of the electronic government will assure that the Dominican Republic will gradually eliminate the hindrances and difficulties of the obsolete model of State management.

    He said that the electronic government is the correct route, because it means that a model is adopted at the vanguard of changes, challenges and transformations that the times and this new century demand.

  • Dominican Republic: Govt going 'E'

    The government of Dominica says it is going “E” and on June 25, 2008 made funds available to facilitate that new focus.

    At a presentation ceremony on Wednesday an initial amount of EC $ 37 thousand was made available to the Reform Management Unit (RMU) for the construction of government’s website.

    The funds are being made available under the European Union funded ICT development program and according to project officer Daniel Reid a total of EC $ 900,000 will be made available for ICT development in the government system.
