Politics
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. In May, the Cabinet made a decision to launch National Email Service within this year. In accordance with the decision, works are underway to issue email addresses to the citizens, reported L.Enkh-Amgalan, the Acting Minister of Digital Development and Communications, during the press conference to present the decisions made at the Cabinet meeting.
In specific, the Ministry started issuing email addresses to
citizens over the age of 16 through the E-Mongolia platform. Launching the email
service will allow citizens to directly engage with civil servants and is
believed to eliminate bureaucracy and save time and money. For example,
important notifications will be delivered to the citizens to remind, for
instance, the expiration date of the passport, driver’s license, national ID card, etc., and other important information. Moreover, citizens will be able to freely
file complaints and receive necessary information with the help of the email
service.
“As of today, 680 government services have been digitalized and
added to the E-Mongolia platform and now we are working to integrate the
services of local administration units to the platform”, said the Acting Minister.
According to the ‘Household and Personal Information,
Communication and Information Technology Usage Survey’ conducted
by the Ministry of Digital Development and
Communications and the National Statistics Office of Mongolia in 2021, 43.8 percent of the survey’s participants had sufficient digital literacy skills.
