Over the past years, there have been many digital or ICT related projects and initiatives implemented by individual ministries or government agencies at different levels.

However, there was still a lack of strategic and holistic view to understand the current state of digital government development in Lao PDR.

Therefore, the Ministry of Technology and Communications together with UNDP, had conducted this Digital Maturity Assessment or DMA which is a strategic diagnosis on digital readiness of systems, services and digital capacities to achieve digital transformation agenda of the Government of Lao PDR.
