Home / Training Services / Digital government academy

Our Digital Government Academy program was developed to provide governments and civil servants with the skills and tools to manage in an increasingly digital public administration.

QUALISYS Consulting develops and animates the digital government academy, focused on the digital training of senior managers and employees of ministries and administrations. The program offers a variety of courses, all tailored to the needs of the public sector with little or no formal training in IT or digital administration.

The Digital Government Academy program is led by a team made up of public administration experts, sectoral experts (public finance, customs, health, education, agriculture, etc.) and experts in digital transformation.

The choice of courses offered by the digital government academy is driven by a digital skills model that specifies the digital skills needed in government agencies. The goal of the model is to create a framework for good digital government, by improving coordination and understanding between ministries and government agencies.

Our model identifies five main areas of digital skills considered vital for digital administration in the African public sector:

2.Digital government programs and projects Development 
3.AI, data and emerging technologies for digital government
4.Design, implementation and operation approaches for digital government
