Cuba Digital and Economic Transformation

The project aims to empower digital transformation in Cuba by enhancing equal, inclusive, and transparent access to both public and private digital services and promoting digital interactions among citizens, businesses, and authorities. The EGA and FIIAPP will implement the project activities.

The activities, led by the eGA team, focus on strengthening the capacities and infrastructure for delivering digital public services and establishing digital public service portals and telecare systems based on secure data exchange.

Key areas of development include:

• Technical Framework and Interoperability
• Data Exchange
• Information and Data Management
• Access to Services and e-Services
• Digital Identity and Digital Signatures

The eGA team, in collaboration with the Cuban Ministry of Communications and other beneficiaries, will develop the necessary organisation and technology to support these areas. Additionally, the project aims to improve the digital public services of the Tax Office, the National Statistics System, as well as public registries and cadastral systems.

FIIAPP’s activities focus on developing and enhancing legal frameworks for using public and private information, while also building digital skills and fostering a digital culture, especially among women, youth, and the elderly. Additionally, the initiative aims to strengthen government capacities in producing inequality statistics, focusing on gender equality, income distribution, and regional disparities.
