OneGov Launches To Bring Forth A New Era Of Digital Government

The launching of OneGov aspires to welcome a digital transition that highlights a modern digital interface and ensures assisting efficient communication between the public and government. The Rresident Ibrahim Mohamed Solih strongly supported the above statement on Monday while delivering remarks at the inaugural event held at Sultan Park.

As affirmed by the president, this digital platform will enable citizens to remotely access government services in a citizen-centric approach, given the geographical distribution of the Maldives. This will ultimately expedite the achievement of SDGs and tackle climate change.  As noted throughout the speech, inter-island travel to reach out for the government services such as those provided by institutions and offices will be eliminated by adopting this change.

Some of the experiencing challenges that are set to be resolved include:
-  Inconvenience with printing forms for service applications
-  Reducing paper consumption
-   Corruption

The platform encompasses a range of services as well such as:
- Contractor Registration 
- Project license 
- Construction Industry General Practitioner Registration 
- Construction Industry Technical Association Registration 
- Material Testing Laboratory Registration 
- Construction Industry Consultant Registration 
- Import Material Quality Approval 
- Foundation System Approval 
- Case Submission to Appeals Committee 
- Report Construction Issues 
- Development Control and Concept Approval of Residential Plots 
- Produced Material Quality Approval 
- Construction Industry Checker Registration 
- Construction Industry Licensed Architect / Engineer Registration 
- Building Inspector Registration 
   
Moreover, this platform incorporates its services from six government agencies and organizations which will be progressed further in the future. Furthermore, public assistance has come for ease as this platform is aided by three contact centers nationally. The public can utilize the centre’s services by attending in-person or through online consultations.
