Tunisia accelerated the digitalization of its public administration as it completed 20 digital projects in the first quarter of 2026 and advanced dozens of others. The government reported that 121 projects are currently in progress out of a total of 192 initiatives launched nationwide. Sofiene Hemissi announced the figures on April 2 during a session at the National Council of Regions and Districts.

The government is advancing several major digital reforms across ministries and public services. The minister highlighted the planned rollout of electronic invoicing within the Ministry of Finance, which authorities expect to deploy in the third quarter of 2026. The reform aims to strengthen transparency and improve tax fairness.

In addition, the government is developing other key projects, including electronic tax stamps, remote payment of vehicle tax and the introduction of an online tax identification system.

Moreover, the authorities are expanding digitalization across strategic sectors. They are developing online administrative services, implementing digital hospital systems and digitizing education systems and transport services. These reforms form part of a national digital transformation strategy that Tunisia has been structuring since 2024.

The government aims to modernize public action and improve administrative efficiency. It is deploying digital infrastructure, strengthening skills and progressively digitizing procedures across all public sectors.

The transition should improve transparency, reduce administrative delays and expand citizen access to public services. Furthermore, the reforms are strengthening Tunisia’s international positioning in digital governance rankings.

According to the “E-Government Survey 2024” published by the United Nations, Tunisia ranks first in North Africa, third in Africa and 87th globally. The country recorded an E-Government Development Index score of 0.6935, which stands above the African average and reflects its progress and ambitions in digital governance.
