The government of Bangladesh has announced an ambitious plan to transition all its services to a fully paperless system by 2041.

This initiative is part of the broader “Smart Bangladesh by 2041” vision, which aims to leverage advanced technologies to transform governance and enhance public service delivery.

A central component of this transformation is the Smart Bangladesh Stack, a digital infrastructure framework designed to make all government services accessible and interoperable. This system will streamline various services, making them more efficient and user-friendly.

The government plans to introduce data-driven, AI-based dashboards for all ministries and departments to enhance decision-making processes. These dashboards will provide real-time data and analytics, enabling more informed and timely decisions.

By 2041, Bangladesh aims to significantly improve its ranking in the UN e-Government Development Index, targeting a position below 50.

The government seeks to increase the tax-GDP ratio to at least 22% through technological advancements, ensuring better revenue collection and financial management.

Another critical goal is to ensure universal and quality healthcare for all citizens, reinforcing the government’s commitment to comprehensive social welfare.
