Ministry of Digital Transformation

The Ministry of Digital Transformation (Ukrainian: Міністерство цифрової трансформації України) is a government ministry in Ukraine that was established on 29 August 2019 when Mykhailo Fedorov was appointed as Minister of Digital Transformation in the Honcharuk Government.[1] Its current and first minister is Mykhailo Fedorov.[1]

The ministry's most important project is the so-called "state in a smartphone" project that was aiming that by 2024 100% of all government services should be available online with 20% of services provided automatically, without the intervention of an official, and 1 online fill-in form to receive a package of services "in any life situation".[2] On 5 November 2019 Fedorov wrote on Facebook that the "state in a smartphone" project would not be founded by the state budget in 2020 (but he hoped it would be in 2021) but that it would rely "on an effective team and international technical assistance, public-private partnerships, volunteering."[3] The following day Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk stressed that each government ministry had planned expenditures for digitization and that the Ministry of Digital Transformation did have a separate budget and that thus the state budget was sufficient to launch the "state in a smartphone" project in 2020.[4]
