President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has established the Digital Transformation Council to oversee the implementation of the Maldives 2.0 roadmap, a vision aimed at shaping the country into a digital-first nation.
Formed on the recommendation of the Cabinet, the Council will be chaired by the President and serve as the highest authority to guide and monitor the initiatives set out in the Maldives 2.0 Roadmap 2025–2028.
The Council consists of nine members: Minister of Homeland Security and Technology Ali Ihusaan, Minister of Finance and Planning Moosa Zameer, Minister of Education Dr Ismail Shafeeu, Minister of Health Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim, Minister of Cities, Local Government and Public Works Adam Shareef Umar, Chief of Staff at the President’s Office Abdulla Fayaz, Minister of State for Homeland Security and Technology Dr Mohamed Kinaanath, Digital Transformation Strategist at the President’s Office Siyah Khaleel, and Managing Director of TradeNet Maldives Corporation Limited Saeeda Umar.
The Maldives 2.0 programme, first introduced by President Muizzu in May, is built on eight key pillars including digital identity, open data sharing, cybersecurity, modern legal frameworks, sovereign digital infrastructure, citizen-centred e-government, sectoral digital transformation, and ICT ecosystem development. The government has described the initiative as one that aims to modernise public services, strengthen trust in digital systems, and encourage innovation.
According to the President’s Office, the roadmap focuses on creating an environment where government operations are streamlined, service delivery is timely, and access to state services is made more transparent and efficient. The plan also envisions reducing bureaucratic delays and improving integration of services across all islands.
By establishing the Council, the government seeks to ensure that the Maldives 2.0 vision is carried out in line with its stated goals of building a secure, citizen-focused and digitally independent future.
