• Tunisia will implement 192 digital projects and launch full public service digitalization from 2026.

• Authorities will expand online services, electronic payments and interoperability under the 2026–2030 development plan.

• Internet penetration reaches 84% of the population, supporting e-government expansion.

The government announced that Tunisia will rely on 192 digital projects to accelerate administrative modernization and initiate full digitalization of public services starting in 2026. Officials made the announcement after a cabinet meeting dedicated to monitoring the digital transition, which took place on Friday, February 13, at the Kasbah Palace.

Prime Minister Sarra Zaâfrani Zenzri chaired the meeting and stated that digital transformation represents a pillar of the state’s economic and social program. The government plans to strengthen online services, generalize electronic payments and ensure interoperability among public institutions under the 2026–2030 development plan.

The executive branch stated that modernization will simplify administrative procedures, reduce processing times, improve transaction transparency and support the country’s economic attractiveness. Authorities also aligned the strategy with efforts to combat corruption, tax fraud and informal practices.

Several flagship projects were already operational at the end of 2025. The government launched a unified portal for administrative services, introduced an electronic tax stamp, enabled remote payment of certain taxes and implemented the first phase of a digital hospital program. Authorities also deployed platforms dedicated to building permits and online administrative procedures. Other initiatives focus on interconnecting public services and developing digital solutions for citizens and businesses.

Tunisia’s relatively high level of digital adoption supports these efforts. DataReportal’s “Digital 2026: Tunisia” report indicates that about 84% of the population uses the internet, while mobile connections exceed 125% of the population. This environment creates favorable conditions for the expansion of online public services.

Authorities plan to prioritize projects that deliver direct impact for users and investors while strengthening cybersecurity and data protection requirements. The government will also implement a national communication plan to promote citizen adoption of digital services.
