Astana hosts presentation of Digital Government Support Center projects

A presentation of digital projects of the Digital Government Support Center was held in Astana. Over the past four years, more than 1,300 processes have been optimized and over 20 digital solutions introduced in a variety of sectors ranging from transport and industry to education. Projects already implemented in government agencies and the quasi-public sector were presented at Demo Day. Among the key ones is a mobile app for registering minor accidents without police and court involvement, which has reduced insurance payout times from 40 to 5 days. Another service enables online registration and certification of unmanned aircraft systems, cutting service delivery time threefold.

«On a daily basis, we monitor more than 300 information systems which belong to different ministries, akimats, our regions and more or less are connected to our governmental system. What we do is really to understand what exactly is being done in the sphere of information technology, how we are changing, what else we need to change and why. So, based on this analysis, we are also implementing the monitoring of the projects,» said Aliya Ospanova, Executive Director of the Digital Government Support Center.

«We will now actively support the digitalization of regions, taking into account their specific needs. For example, in the Kostanai region, where agriculture and automobile manufacturing are priorities, digital solutions will focus on these industries. In Karagandy, a metallurgy cluster, the emphasis will be on workplace safety, which is very important, and production development. Together with the relevant ministries, we will develop proposals to improve all of this,» noted Bakhtiyar Mukhametkaliyev, General Director of the Digital Government Support Center.
