South Sudan Vice President Benjamin Bol Mel has promised to help speed up digital transformation across the country. On Tuesday, he met with Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth to discuss plans for improving technology infrastructure. Their talks centered on quickly implementing important ICT projects, especially expanding the national fiber network. The VP stressed the need for modern digital systems to support connectivity throughout the nation. These improvements aim to boost commerce, development, peace efforts, and reconciliation.

The officials discussed creating digital innovation centers to teach young people skills for joining the global digital economy, which aligns with President Salva Kiir Mayardit's vision for the country. They also explored how online platforms can help unite the diverse population. Bol Mel said technology must connect people and encourage dialogue among different groups. The meeting established groundwork for a digitally connected future that could bring economic strength and social unity.

South Sudan has experienced armed conflict for many years. Despite these challenges, economic forecasts look promising. Both the World Bank and the IMF rank it among the fastest-growing economies worldwide. Financial experts predict the country will see 17% GDP growth in 2025.
