PART ONE • DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION POLICY
Vision & Mission
VISION • WHERE WE ARE GOING
Transform Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into a globally recognized hub for digital innovation, efficiency, and citizen-centric governance through the establishment of a sustainable and inclusive digital ecosystem by 2030.
MISSION • HOW WE GET THERE
Accelerate equitable socio-economic growth by leveraging digital technologies, fostering innovation, and ensuring secure, accessible, and sustainable digital services through Digital Public Goods for inclusive and citizen-centric governance.
WE DEFINE DIGITAL AS
“Digital” for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not just about technology — it is a strategy to drive governance excellence, economic prosperity, and citizen empowerment through innovation and inclusivity.
PART TWO • STRATEGY - FROM VISION TO ACTION
The Strategy
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa enters this transformation with a strong digital foundation: a modern Tier-III Government Data Centre, an expanding portfolio of government digital platforms, and a vibrant technology ecosystem — anchored by DASTAK, Khyber Pass and Paymir, the flagship platforms of the Province's Digital Public Infrastructure.
The Strategy aligns digital investments, institutional reforms and innovation initiatives through the DIGIT Framework and a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach — integrating Digital Public Infrastructure, Enterprise Architecture, Government-as-a-Platform, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Payments, Cybersecurity, Data Governance and Digital Trust into one transformation agenda. By 2030, it envisions a government that is digital by default, integrated by design, secure by principle, and citizen-centric by purpose.
