Due to the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of digital development, innovations, and aerospace industry, JSC "National Information Technologies" (NIT), and the "Kazakhstan Agency for International Development" (KazAID), Kazakhstan IT solutions in the field of e-government development, such as "Smart Bridge," "Unified platform for internet resources of government agencies," and the information-analytical system "Smart Data Ukimet" have been exported to Tajikistan.
Within the framework of the Declaration of Allied Interaction between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Tajikistan, signed by the Presidents, active work is underway to transfer Kazakhstani expertise in the development of Tajikistan's information and communication infrastructure. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of digital development, innovations, and aerospace industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Ministry of industry and new technologies of the Republic of Tajikistan on cooperation in the transfer of e-government platform systems. In line with this memorandum, a team of technical specialists from JSC "National Information Technologies" is currently conducting a technical assessment of the digital maturity of Tajikistan's ICT infrastructure and the possibilities of implementing Kazakhstani IT solutions, in collaboration with colleagues from the Ministry of industry and new technologies of Tajikistan.
On December 21, 2023, JSC "NIT" team provided practical assistance by transferring e-government components to the Ministry of industry and new technologies of Tajikistan. The assessment of digital readiness and the implementation of IT solutions involve a comprehensive process, including research, analysis, planning, and the implementation of new technologies and systems. The technical team has started working on these tasks, conducting a review of Tajikistan's existing information systems and studying the experiences and practices applied in Kazakhstan. Preliminary results indicate that this joint initiative promises to be successful and beneficial for both parties.
A reminder of the main functions of the exported IT solutions:
"Smart Bridge" - a platform for streamlining the integration process between the information systems of government agencies and the business sector.
Smart Data Ukimet - a set of tools for monitoring economic growth and the execution of government programs, creating a unified space for big data as the foundational basis for the digital transformation of the state.
"Unified platform for internet resources of government agencies" - a unique platform for citizens that consolidates all websites of government agencies into a unified and user-friendly structure with an easy-to-navigate interface.
The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan had previously set a goal to increase the export of IT services to one billion dollars by 2026. The export of Kazakhstani solutions to the Republic of Tajikistan demonstrates the trusting relationship between the two countries and contributes to the regional development of digitization.
