An Agreement Is Signed By MoITT And Sindh IT Business To Initiate A Digital Economy Project In The Province.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the government-owned Sindh IT Company (SITC) and the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) to carry out the Digital Economy Enhancement Project (DEEP) in Sindh. In order to improve service delivery, simplify digital governance, and construct an effective national digital ecosystem, the agreement seeks to provide a framework for federal-provincial cooperation.

Minister for IT & Telecom Shaza Fatima observed the ceremony when the Additional Secretary MoITT and the CEO of Sindh IT Company signed the Memorandum of Understanding.

As the sponsoring agency under the MoU, MoITT will manage project execution across the country and supply funds, technical assistance, and policy support. The “Pakistan Business Portal, Digital Vaults, Pakistan Digital ID, the National Digital Services Portal, and the National Data Exchange Layer” are important projects.

Speaking at the event, the Minister stated that the introduction of DEEP in Sindh is a significant step in the direction of the common goal of a digital Pakistan. Along with enhancing governance and service delivery, this project will open up new avenues for growth and innovation.

In addition, he paid respect to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and hailed the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). The minister claimed that the Prime Minister’s Digital Nation vision still serves as a roadmap for creating a technologically advanced, inclusive, and networked Pakistan. By collaborating with provincial government organizations on “data integration, infrastructure support, and capacity building, Sindh IT Company will enable the local implementation of DEEP components”.

The objective of this collaboration is to facilitate digital transformation throughout Sindh and guarantee that provincial stakeholders have the necessary resources to implement contemporary governance instruments.

The collaboration marks a major step toward advancing Pakistan’s digital economy. By aligning national and provincial efforts, DEEP will deliver “efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric digital services” that bring long-term socio-economic benefits to the people of Sindh.
