Fiji is stepping up efforts to make government services more accessible while strengthening cybersecurity and digital systems across the country.

Minister for Policing and Communications, Ioane Naivalurua, told Parliament today that several initiatives are being advanced under the National Digital Strategy 2025–2030 and the National Cybersecurity and Resilience Strategy 2026–2031.

A Whole-of-Government services mapping exercise has identified 788 services provided by ministries and agencies.

The exercise is expected to help government review and redesign services to make them easier for people to access.

The National Identification Initiative is also progressing and is expected to be tabled in Parliament next month.

It will build on the digitalFIJI digital e-Profile and aims to give Fijians a secure digital identity for accessing government, health, financial and social services.

Fiji has also strengthened its cybersecurity capabilities through the establishment of the National Computer Emergency Response Team, known as CERT, as well as a 24-hour Government Network and Security Operations Centre.

Meanwhile, work continues on reviewing the Online Safety Law, with particular attention on protecting children online.

Progress is also being made on data protection legislation.

Government is also focusing on developing young people with skills for Fiji’s growing digital sector.

Five Fijian girls aged between 15 and 17 recently represented the country at the CyberWizards 2026 Boot Camp in Estonia, marking Fiji’s first participation in the international programme.

The girls are part of the Girls in ICT Programme, which will continue this year alongside specialised cyber programmes designed to create more opportunities for young women.

The initiatives are part of wider efforts to strengthen Fiji’s digital infrastructure, improve access to government services and develop the skills needed to support a secure and increasingly digital economy.
