DICT targets more LGU adoption for e-LGU, eGovPH
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) expects more local government units (LGUs) to adopt the government's digitalization initiatives.
According to DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy, these efforts will simplify government processes and reduce bureaucratic barriers for citizens.
As of now, 838 LGUs have integrated their systems into the e-LGU platform, which is also linked with the eGovPH SuperApp.
The e-LGU system offers a wide range of services including business permits, barangay clearances, building permits, and other essential LGU online services.
DICT Undersecretary David L. Almirol Jr. said they anticipate further adoption by smaller LGUs to enhance efficiency.
The Philippines has significantly improved its ranking in the United Nations' e-Participation Index, moving up 31 places to 49th from 80th in 2020.
The DICT aims to consolidate government services into a single digital platform as part of its broader goal to advance the country's digital transformation.
