•    Modernize the public sector to benefit of citizens and develop a dynamic and competitive private sector by digitalizing public services by 2020;
•    Increase the transparency and efficiency of the governance process by integrating intelligent information technologies used by central public administration institutions and opening the public government data;
•    Reduce the costs for information technologies used in the public sector.
To this purpose, a common “M-Cloud” infrastructure, based on “Cloud Computing” technology, will be developed and implemented for the governmental institutions and governmental portals “Government for Citizens (G-C)”, “Government for Businesses (G-B)”, and “Government for the Government (G-G)” will be created. The resources thus saved will be used to develop priority fields for the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, such as health, education, social protection, and others.
