Titel: 81305874-BenInnovation-Strengthening the digital tranformation in Benin

Beschreibung: The Government of the Republic of Benin aims to "transform Benin into West Africa's digital services platform for accelerated growth and social inclusion". To do so, the government has developed a solid administrative framework to underpin its ambitious development objectives. A Ministry for Digitalization was set up in 2016, followed by the establishment of specialized technical agencies for information security, infrastructure development, information systems and services, etc. The "Digital Code" was adopted in 2017, followed by the strategies on cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence. Among the government"s flagship projects is the "Smart Government" programme which aims to contribute to the establishment of a modern administration with the help of the Agency for Information and Digital Systems (ASIN). ASIN"s objectives include the widespread use of ICT in public administration and in Benin's social and economic sectors. Over the past three years, Benin has made remarkable progress in digital transformation, designing national e-government frameworks and developing e-services for citizens and businesses. A data exchange solution for public authorities was implemented based on X-Road, the open-source technology used in Estonia. A public key infrastructure has already been put in place; an e-payment system will follow shortly. Benin championed the Smart Africa Digital ID Blueprint to enhance cross-border eID interoperability and the Government successfully conducted a large census for the purpose of identifying people, resulting in nearly 10 million Beninese listed in the National Register of Persons (NPR). Next to civil status data and biometric data, the NPR contains the Personal Identification Number (NPI) that identifies every Beninese citizen. Therefore, NPR is one of the foundations for digital identity and a key element for public e-services provided through a national e-services portal. The latter will serves as a single point of entry to all public services - increasing accountability and accessibility. While still nascent, the portal currently makes some 250 public services accessible and will ultimately be the place where most public services can be accessed digitally. The German Development Cooperation supports the ambitious reform agenda of the Ministry of Digitalization through the Digital Transformation Center approach. The concept of the Digital Transformation Centers is linked to a political initiative of the Federal Republic of Germany to support the governments of partner countries in creating mechanisms and instruments for the development, implementation and dissemination of digital solutions. In Benin, the Digital Transformation Center has worked on three topics: digital administration, digital entrepreneurship and digital learning. On behalf of the German Government, GIZ aims at promoting the collaboration between the public and the local private sector on the digitalisation of public services in Benin. The project "Beninnovation - Strengthening digital transformation in Benin" wants to unlock the creative and innovative potential of the private sector for the digitalisation of public services by implementing a series of activities. Among those activities are the development of a methodological and technical framework (toolkit) and the preparation of a project pipeline for the digitalisation of services or the establishment of a co-creation space that will enable stakeholders to successfully co-create new ideas and services. These and other activities are complemented by a series of tailor-made training offers for both, the public and the private sector.

Titel: 81305874-BenInnovation-Strengthening the digital tranformation in Benin

Beschreibung: The "Beninnovation" project enhances cooperation between public administration and local private companies in the field of digital transformation in the public sector, especially as regards the digitalisation of public services. So far, the main achievements in the digitalisation of public services in Benin have been realised by the Agency for Information and Digital Systems (ASIN) with the help of Estonia"s E-Governance Academy and advisory services provided by Cybernetica (an Estonian ICT company). As a result, several e-services are available to the citizens. However, as the Government"s objective is to digitalise all administrative services (referred to "industrialization of e-services"), this exceeds by far ASIN"s capacities. Consequently, the private sector is needed to fill the gap. As of today, only a few local companies seem to have the necessary skills and expertise to effectively contribute to the digitalisation of public services. Several additional companies are working in similar fields (finance sector) or show interest to enter this potential market. The Beninnovation project is building the capacities of two stakeholder groups: first, civil servants and sector experts working in the Directorates for Information Systems (DSI) at different ministries and government agencies overseeing the digitalization of their own institutions. Second, technical staff and managers of local private service providers who are willing to contribute to an innovative and inclusive digital transformation of the Beninese public administration, especially as regards administrative services. The project aims to consolidate its capacity building approach by contributing to the establishment of a community of practice (CoP). The primary objective of the CoP established under this tender is to foster a collaborative and dynamic environment where members collectively enhance their knowledge, skills, and expertise in the field of digital solutions for the public sector. Anchored within a local organisation, the CoP will serve as a key element for capacity building activities as well as the sharing, distribution and application of training materials, best practices and innovative strategies. In this sense, the CoP will contribute to the sustainability of the project"s achievements. Alongside activities supporting the development of this CoP, the contractor will design and provide several trainings in the fields of: - User experience and Design Thinking, - e-government architecture, - Data Management and Introduction to new technologies. These trainings are part of a comprehensive training programme that Beninnovation is providing to the beneficiaries of the public and private sector. The content of the trainings and the experience drawn from the training sessions shall be incorporated into the work of the CoP. Finally, the consultancy will facilitate the digitalisation of several public services in collaboration with local companies in order to create practical and hands-on experiences that can be shared as lessons within the CoP. These project scenarios shall focus on the digitalisation of a new service or on the improvement of an existing e-service and shall be designed and carried out with the use of innovative methods putting user centricity and inclusiveness in their center. The learning activities could, amongst others, include learning exchanges at the start of the project phases (design, implementation, testing, etc), retrospective activities after key milestones, the identification and sharing of lessons learnt, etc. The contractor will make sure that local companies are able to apply what they learned and share the learnings (within the CoP).
