The overall objective of the consultancy is to develop a comprehensive and effective Integrated Digital Transformation Strategy for Guinea-Bissau and its roadmap to support its successful implementation, promoting the digitization of the public sector, improving service delivery to citizens and strengthening digital governance, which should be a concise document of no more than 150 pages. In addition, the strategy and roadmap must include an Executive Summary of no more than 10 pages.
The strategy should include a brief assessment of the current situation, present the government's vision for digital transformation and its specific objectives.

In addition, a budget must be presented for implementing the actions proposed in the strategy.
The Integrated Strategy must be accompanied by a Roadmap, which will define an implementation period, covering up to 2030. This plan will detail the actions to be carried out, the specific deadlines and the resources needed for each phase of the digital transformation and a public presentation should be made through a workshop.
