Government of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka embarked on an ambitious journey to implement Sri Lanka Unique Digital Identity (SLUDI) to provide every citizen with a National Unique Digital Identifier, revolutionizing the way digital interactions and transactions are conducted. By eliminating duplications in identity records across government departments, SLUDI seeks to ensure data accuracy and efficiency in government operations. The scope of the project aims to create a robust digital identity system for Sri Lankan citizens. It involves supplying, installing, commissioning, and maintaining hardware and software systems, including biometric systems. Also, the project focuses on seamless integration with government departments and adherence to Service Level Agreements. It aims to address duplications and inefficiencies, streamline processes, and enhance security. The SLUDI leverages the MOSIP platform as the core solution for its implementation.

There is a pressing need for a centralized, secure, and efficient data exchange platform that can facilitate the seamless sharing and integration of data across various sectors in the government of Sri Lanka. This platform is essential for enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of information, promoting data-driven decision-making, and improving overall governance and public service delivery.  The current data management systems in Sri Lanka are fragmented and inefficient, leading to significant challenges in data sharing and accessibility among governmental agencies, private sector entities, and the public. This fragmentation results in duplication of efforts, inconsistencies in data quality, and delays in obtaining critical information, which hampers effective decision-making and policy implementation. The NDX project will address these issues by facilitating seamless data sharing among government agencies with greater interoperability

The Government Digital Payment Platform (GDPP), branded as GovPay, is an initiative aimed at improving citizen-government interactions and streamlining payment processes for various government services in Sri Lanka. This project aims to establish a centralized digital platform that serves as a convenient "Citizen’s One Stop Shop" for online payments and caters to individuals and businesses. GovPay currently facilitates inter-bank payments for citizens to access and make online payments for various government services, ensuring convenience and accessibility. The objectives of the GovPay project encompass establishing a centralized digital platform for citizens to make online payments for government services, enabling government organisations to collect revenue digitally in a secure, transparent, and efficient manner, supporting data-driven decision-making processes to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery, and improving overall efficiency at government organisations.
