Governments across the world are entering a critical phase of digitalisation. Citizens want faster, simpler, and more transparent services, while businesses and investors want efficiency, predictability, and digital access. Digitalization of government services offers a proven pathway to overcome these challenges. By rethinking how services are designed and delivered through digital means, governments can increase performance, strengthen trust, and support long-term economic growth.
Tajikistan digitalization journey focused early on moving high-demand public services online. Through national e-government platforms, citizens and businesses can now access hundreds of services digitally, including civil registration, licenses, permits, tax services, and social benefits. Processes that previously required multiple in-person visits are now completed online, significantly reducing time and administrative burden, according to digitalization expert Faridun Yakubov.
The world is moving fast, and Tajikistan is no longer just watching from the sidelines. As we enter the “Period of Digital Economy and Innovation (2025–2030),” digitalization has shifted from a “bonus” to a national necessity. It is the key to a better life for every Tajik family.
“The goal is to ensure that a student in a remote mountain village has the same digital opportunities as a student in Europe. That is how we achieve true growth.” Yakubov explains.
Starlink is a game changer.
For years, if you lived in a remote village “high-speed internet” was problem to access. Starlink has turned that into a reality overnight. Remote schools and clinics that used to be cut off from the world—especially during winter snowstorms—now have the same connection speeds as an office in Dushanbe.
