Cabinet Approves Government Enterprise Architecture Framework

By Joyce Mukucha

Cabinet has considered and approved the Government Enterprise Architecture Framework Approach to the Modernisation and Improvement of the Government of Zimbabwe’s ICT Ecosystem.

This was communicated by the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa during a post Cabinet briefing yesterday.

The Framework, she said will play a crucial role of digitalising operations of the government as well as ensuring that there is ICT coordination in various departments.

“The nation is informed that this Framework will digitalise Government operations in a more comprehensive and integrated manner, and it will
ensure that internal ICT sub-systems located within various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) are interoperable and coordinated.

“The resultant coordination, rationalization and optimization of the Government digital ecosystem will eliminate a lot of duplication, redundancy and corruption through a central interoperability framework,” said Minister Mutsvangwa.

This, she highlighted, will result in reduced costs and more efficient delivery of quality services to the public.

“The Government Enterprise Architecture provides the critical link of all Government subsystems to the National Data Centre (NDC), which was launched by His Excellency the President last year.”
