Applications were invited for 400 public officers to join a pilot network intended to lead digital improvements across government institutions.
The Public Impact Champions Network, or PIC-NET, was introduced at an awareness programme at ICTA on 27 May. An official report the following day outlined the selection and training process.
Institutions were asked to nominate serving officers capable of supporting digital transformation. The programme aimed to make public services more efficient and reduce the need for people to repeatedly submit the same information.
Officials described future online services such as passport applications and licence renewals as goals of the wider programme. Those examples represented planned improvements, rather than confirmation that every service was already available entirely online.
