Technical Assistance for the Implementation of X-Road
Secure data exchange (X-Road) is the backbone of digital government and service provision. The digital governance unit of the Madagascar Government (Unité de Gouvernance Digitale, UGD) has made efforts to introduce the Estonian-origin secure data exchange solution X-Road in Madagascar as part of their initiative PRODIGY (Project de Gouvernance Digitale et de Gestion de l’Identité Malagasy). To speed up the adoption of the X-Road in Madagascar eGA experts assisted UGD by providing training and consultations.
Madagascar’s data exchange platform, Rahaka, is now more stable and resilient organisationally. This advancement instills confidence that Madagascar’s government can further its digital transformation by establishing e-services through secure data exchange across government agencies.
Within the project eGA experts conducted the following activities:
- audit of deployed X-Road to identify potential technical shortcomings and risks to the platform’s long-term sustainability,
- evaluation of the organisational configuration to ensure easier adoption and growth of the platform for users,
- a legal framework recommendation to make it fit for digital transformation and large-scale digital data exchange between public authorities,
- the capacity building of the team responsible for X-Road to deploying the platform,
- the capacity building of the staff in the UGD and other government institutions on e-governance, X-Road benefits and e-services development.
The project included a field mission to Madagascar and a study visit to Estonia.
