It is unacceptable that citizens are forced to move between various institutions to deal with a single document or service, becoming, in practice, messengers for an administration that should be fully integrated in the 21st century,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The President recalled that many Mozambicans continue to face long queues and long journeys to obtain basic documents, warning that \u201cas long as this persists, we are failing in our mission to serve the Mozambican people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Chapo, digital integration takes on increased importance in the context of natural disasters and without it \u201cwe compromise the protection of lives and the collective memory of the Mozambican nation. The absence of coordinated systems reduces the State\u2019s response capacity and weakens administrative continuity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also called on public institutions to strengthen coordination and interoperability, aligning themselves under the leadership of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 21st century is not the century of isolated institutions. It is the century of interconnected institutions,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>As part of ongoing reforms, he announced the creation of a Multisectoral Technical Commission for Digital Services, mandated to map existing systems, eliminate redundancies, and propose a national roadmap for integration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly with interconnected systems will it be possible to build an efficient, transparent, and citizen-oriented state, capable of reducing bureaucracy, improving the business environment, and combating improper practices\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>For his turn, Ame\u0301rico Muchanga the Minister of Communications and Digital Transformation said that the government believes in a digital state based on the human factor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnological transformation primarily must serve the interests of the citizen. The success of this intention depends on the involvement of all social strata, from academia to the private sector, the latter being called upon to play an active role in the implementation of technological systems\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister also announced public a tender for the implementation of the \u201cdigital identity system\u201d, as well as the expansion of telecommunications infrastructure to more than 1,300 points throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many other initiatives underway. The important thing is that we all participate, implement with quality and ensure, ultimately, that citizens benefit from the technology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
