The Asian Development Bank (ADB), following a competitive national tender, retained MTI Consulting to design the strategy, institutional framework, business plan and curriculum for Sri Lanka’s proposed Academy for Digital Transformation of the Public Sector under GovTech Sri Lanka.
Envisaged as a national platform for strengthening the digital capabilities of Sri Lanka’s public-sector workforce, the Academy will support the development of the skills required to accelerate digital government and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) across the public sector.
Chief Adviser to the President of Sri Lanka on Digital Economy and GovTech Chairman Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya said: “The Academy is expected to provide a structured and scalable platform to build the digital capabilities needed across government, enabling us to effectively leverage emerging digital infrastructure and services.”
MTI Consulting CEO and Project Mentor Hilmy Cader said: “Digital transformation cannot be achieved through conventional training alone. The Academy needs to build the practical capabilities required to translate digital strategies and technologies into sustained institutional outcomes.”
GovTech, under the Ministry of Digital Economy, is the Government of Sri Lanka’s lead implementer for national digital transformation, driving initiatives to strengthen digital government and DPI. It works with government institutions to build digital capabilities and support the adoption of technology to improve the way public services are designed and delivered.
MTI Consulting is an international strategy consultancy, having completed over 760 projects across 56 countries over the last 29 years.
