In a momentous development, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) is gearing up to provide a comprehensive briefing to a visiting World Bank team on the commendable progress achieved in the Digital Economy Enhancement Project (DEEP). Informed sources suggest that this crucial update will be extended to the World Bank team during their scheduled visit to Pakistan.
Following the informative briefings, the World Bank is poised to deliberate on the intricacies of the DEEP Project during its upcoming board meeting. Once receiving approval from the IMF board, the project is slated to progress to the Economic Coordination Council (ECC) for thorough consideration, marking a pivotal step towards its eventual execution.
Within the ambitious framework of the DEEP Project, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is positioned to assume a pivotal role in the establishment of secure data exchange layers. The overarching goal of this project is to devise a streamlined mechanism for seamless data exchange among various government organizations, fostering heightened efficiency and collaboration on multiple fronts.
To oversee the meticulous execution of the DEEP Project, the Ministry of IT and Telecom is set to establish a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU). Led by an experienced Project Director, this unit will comprise a core team of specialists in financial management, procurement, social and environmental safeguards, monitoring and evaluation, as well as communications/outreach.
This collaborative initiative brings together key stakeholders, including the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), the National Information Technology Board (NITB), NADRA, Ignite, and the Board of Investment (BOI). Their collective expertise is poised to play a pivotal role in driving a comprehensive and impactful digital transformation agenda.
