The 2021-2025 Country Strategy aims to support the implementation of the country’s digital transformation agenda to achieve more sustainable and inclusive growth—the first pillar of the country’s medium-and long-term post-pandemic development plan. The new strategy focuses on one main area: digitalization to support economic transformation. It also pursues three strategic objectives:

(i) improving the business environment to enable digital transformation;

(ii) expanding the use of digital tools for improving educational outcomes and digital skills;

(iii) and enhancing the delivery of services.
