The Guyanese government is set to introduce a series of digital transformation initiatives aimed at enhancing public service delivery in 2025.
Among the key initiatives is the rollout of Electronic-ID (E-ID) cards, which will consolidate various government-issued identifiers into a single card for citizens.
Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh announced that the E-IDs are expected to be issued later this year, simplifying identification processes across multiple government agencies.
Additionally, a new Electronic Passport Control System will be implemented at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport to improve passenger processing times and enhance airport efficiency.
The government is also introducing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to streamline healthcare services.
As part of its commitment to modernizing education, the government will launch the One Guyana Digital school, providing a fully digital platform for grades 10 and 11 students to access learning materials from home.
Furthermore, an Education Management Information System (EMIS) will be introduced in over 1,000 schools by the end of 2025 to enhance data collection and improve educational management.
These digital transformation measures reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to modernize public services and provide more efficient, accessible solutions for the Guyanese population.
