The Ministry of Economy, Finance, Debt and Holdings, responsible for addressing the high cost of living, recently convened a strategic meeting to focus on modernizing public administration and accelerating Gabon’s digital transformation. The session, chaired by the Ministers of Economy, Finance, and Digital Economy, reviewed ongoing reforms and explored new digital initiatives aimed at boosting administrative efficiency.
Key outcomes include the launch of the Integrated Public Finance Management System (SIGFIP), designed to streamline government financial operations, and the MADIGIPAIE project, which introduces electronic payments for public services. Additionally, the Unique Participation File (FUP) was established to centralize government participation data, and the Gabon Digital loan program will be expanded to support nationwide digital projects.
The meeting also addressed the regulation of the Gabonese counterparty under the e-Gabon project, implementation of electronic invoicing systems, and the creation of a national platform for public revenue collection and payment. These initiatives are expected to enhance transparency, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and modernize service delivery across the public sector.
Following the discussions, the ministers reiterated their commitment to these structural reforms, highlighting their importance for improving administrative performance and supporting Gabon’s economic growth. Regular follow-up meetings will be conducted to monitor progress and ensure the successful implementation of these digital transformation projects.
