3 Background Galaxy Backbone Limited was established in 2006 in response to the increasing proliferation of disparate IT networks and assets across Federal Government Ministries, Departments & Agencies (MDAs) and Institutions This increasing proliferation prompted the need for building and operating a single nation-wide IT infrastructure platform to provide infrastructure services to all MDAs Two Major National Connectivity projects involving IP Networks : NICTIB NICEP In effect this was Nigeria s first attempt at a Whole of Government Approach for ICT infrastructure and services to its institutions Page 3

4 CORE MANDATE Provide the Federal Government with the technology and services required for efficient delivery of public services (G2C and G2B) and smooth and cohesive government operations (G2G).

Set standards and guidelines for the acquisition,acceptable usage and interoperability of ICT applications and services across Federal Government MDAs and institutions. Provide the Ministry of Communication Technology with the technical support needed for end to end Quality Assurance of ICT projects and capacity building for ICT professionals across Government Page 4

13 1-GOV.net: Approach to Inter-operability This approach defines an ecosystem of Service and Data Producers and Consumers as follows: Data Producers as Agencies with the Legal or Constitutional Mandate to collect, hold and disseminate data e.g., CAC Corporate records, FIRS -Tax records, NPoPC Demographic data, NPS Socioeconomic and all statistical data; NPF Criminal records data, NIMC citizen identity data, etc., Data Producers may also be Registrars as well to facilitate authoritative data collection. Service Providers as Agencies who based on statutory mandates provide a functionality (Service) using the data they hold authoritatively NBS - socio economic data services, NIMC - citizen identity verification and authentication, NPoPC - Births and Deaths verification/ demographic data services etc., Data Consumers within this context are either Citizens or Businesses seeking access to information or Government Agencies seeking access to data for producing information or delivering services eg CAC provides a service for authentication of Companies. The use of an Government-wide Enterprise Architecture which defines a framework for how data is to be held in Information Systems and databases within each Agency or within a Shared Service Centre so as to allow federation of data, systems and orchestration of services amongst producer and service provider Agencies. Defines a Technical Approach to the federation of services (Services Oriented Architecture) Page 13

14 Centralization of National Databases Through Federation National Databases Management System Can provide different perspectives and support multiple use cases for data and information Secure, Reliable, recoverable, physical facilities Logical interoperability and orchestration through Services Brokerage using SOA Single View, human access, multiple programmatic access Page 14

15 Transformational Government Global Best Practice A managed process of ICT-enabled change in the public sector, which puts the needs of citizens and businesses at the heartof that process and which achieves significant and transformational impacts on the efficiency and effectiveness of government. - Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards IT Enabled Process Centered on Citizens Delivers Efficiency It is just about transforming government through technology. It is also about making government transformational through the use of technology Page 15

16 Transformational Government Some Critical Success Factors All-of-Government View It is a known fact that Transformational government cannot be pursued on a projectby-project or agency-specific basis Shared Services Key building blocks are being managed as government-wide resources -in particular common data sets; common citizen applications (e.g. authentication, payments, notifications); and core ICT infrastructure Sustained Support Political leaders and Executives are committed to the program for the long term. Collaboration Leaders from all parts of Government are involved in the program are motivated for it to succeed Citizen-Centric Delivery Citizens are increasingly able to access all Government services through a "one-stop" service Page 16

17 1-Gov.net - Benefits Internal to Government Lower Cost Increased Productivity Reduced Duplication Interoperabilty External to Stakeholders Security Knowledge Economy Citizen Convenience One-stop interaction with Government Digital Inclusion Private Sector Convenience one stop interaction with Government Page 17

18 1-GOV.net enabled services Over 5 million international passengers were processed through Nigeria s airports in GOV.net infrastructure provides real-time connectivity between border control points and a central processing server The Nigerian Government provides bridging assistance for the transportation of petroleum products to maintain uniform prices across the country Over 1,000 trucks are pocessed daily. All transactions are processed in real time over 1-GOV.net The Federal Road Safety Commission is implementing a new biometric drivers licensing scheme nationwide targeting over 20 million drivers as of 30 th September GOV.net infrastructure is supporting real-time driver registration and records management Page 18

19 1-GOV.NET - Challenges Low Capacity Perceptions that ICT is not that critical to Government transformation Resistance to Change Poor infrastructure (power) Sharp rise in demand /Inadequate Funding Page 19

20 1-GOV.NET Strategic Approach Government-wide Enterprise Architecture People Technology Develop and adopt standards and processes that drive consistency, reliability and interoperability Attract and Retain Skilled manpower with subject matter expertise to ensure operation and sustainability of ICT investments Select and implement technologies that are mature, secure, scalable and interoperable Page 20 Processes Re-engineer Government Processes to achieve efficiency and effectiveness in public service delivery Adopt core ITSM principles and processes within Galaxy

21 The Road Ahead Consolidate and make investments in upgrading our people, processes (ITIL) and technology Move to the Government cloud Develop a Government wide Enterprise Architecture Define Business, Data, Applications and Technology across all of Government starting from core Ministries Build out the shared infrastructure using the Government Online Services Broker to implement Inter-operability, security and other shared services Collaborate with the Ministry of Communication Technology (MCT) and Government in formulating a National e-government Strategy Collaborate with OHCSF & MCT on building capacity in the Public Service: Focused Capacity Building in Government. ICT Cadre, but more importantly Functional Managers and Directors Directly implement key internal projects (GWMC, EDMS, IPPIS) and service delivery projects, GSP, GCC Encourage the progress to e-participation (Broadband penetration, Mobile Internet, e- Commerce etc.,) Encourage Open Government Data.
