He said that the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis is about to begin its digital transformation journey which will start with the ‘Whole of Government Strategy’.

“While we have achieved individual milestones, to achieve full Digital Transformation it is now necessary to fully embrace the ‘Whole of Government’s strategy’. However, due to all the limits associated with Small Island Developing States such as ours, the Whole of Government strategy requires us to collaborate with the best ICT industry practitioners to aid in the capacity building of our local technical talent and access to affordable and concessionary capital investment,” he said.

So far, the strategy has resulted in “About 85% mobile and internet penetration in St. Kitts and Nevis; Digital application for financial assistance during the pandemic; Online Vehicle Registration and Licensing; Creating an Immunization database; Online Immigration/Customs portal eliminating the need for paper and improving entry processing speeds,” he added.

Minister Maynard also said that the Ministry has “pledged to our local internet service providers to engage in “Partner2Connect’ initiatives to improve connectivity around the island and that “high-speed internet is provided for free to our local community centres around the island to enable unconnected citizens the opportunity to connect.”
