The Digital Transformation Policy (NDTP) provides a strategic framework to guide the country’s transition towards a digital economy and digitally empowered society.

The National Digital Transformation Policy represents a bold step toward leveraging technology to improve public service delivery, stimulate economic growth and create new opportunities for all Solomon Islanders. The policy provides a clear roadmap for harnessing digital technologies to improve government efficiency, strengthen connectivity and empower our citizens to participate fully in the digital age.
Embracing the Digital Agenda of Peace, Prosperity and Equality, the National Digital Transformation Policy recognizes the transformative role of information and communication technologies in national development and emphasizes collaboration between government agencies, the private sector, development partners and communities to achieve its objectives.
The National Digital Transformation Policy establishes the foundation needed to realise MCA’s vision to create a connected nation where digital technologies improve access to services, support economic opportunities and enhance the quality of life for all Solomon Islanders.
Key focus areas of the policy include:
- Infrastructure for Digital.
- Open Digital Government.
- Health and Wellbeing.
- Future Ready Citizen.
- CyberSafe Solomon Islands.
- Digital Economy and Innovation.
- Social Equity And Digital Inclusion.
- Towards a Greener Future.
The launch of the National Digital Transformation Policy aligns with the GREAT Coalition Government’s broader development aspirations and demonstrates MCA’s commitment to driving digital innovation and supporting sustainable national growth.
The development of the National Digital Transformation Policy (NDTP) was a collaborative effort between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA). The NDTP has been approved and endorsed by the National Cabinet, thereby gaining formal recognition as an official National Government Policy Document. The Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA) is responsible for its custodianship.
The Ministry of Communication and Aviation will work closely with other relevant Government Ministries, Agencies and stakeholders to implement the policy and ensure that the benefits of digital transformation reach all provinces and communities throughout Solomon Islands.
