The Agency for Information Systems and Digital Technology (ASIN) convened the Conference of Information Systems Directors (CDSI) on 8 October 2026. Officials gathered to evaluate the technical integration of government services within Benin. Participants organized the meeting under the theme 'Digital Benin: from dematerialization to smart administration'. The proceedings focused on the transition of public records into electronic formats and the implementation of automated bureaucratic processes. Agency representatives examined methods to improve public service delivery through the adoption of new computational tools. This assembly provided a venue for directors to align digital infrastructure projects with national governance objectives. Officials concluded the session by reviewing the current status of administrative digitization efforts across the country.
Digital Transformation Leadership Presence
Minister of Digital Transformation and Innovation Mahuna Akplogan attended the Conference of Information Systems Directors to oversee the progress of the national digital agenda. Her presence provided high-level oversight as attendees evaluated the integration of emerging technologies into the current administrative framework.
Conference sessions addressed four primary areas: artificial intelligence, public information systems, digital infrastructure, and cybersecurity. These technical discussions defined the operational priorities for government agencies attempting to modernize service delivery. Participants examined how these specific fields could be combined to improve the performance of national networks and secure citizen data against unauthorized access. Experts within these sessions analyzed the capacity of existing systems to support the shift toward more automated and intelligent bureaucratic functions.
Agency for Information Systems and Digital Technology officials intend to use the Conference of Information Systems Directors as a platform to promote experience sharing and cooperation among digital players in the public and private sectors. By facilitating these exchanges, the Agency for Information Systems and Digital Technology seeks to establish a common technical standard for all entities involved in the digital transformation of Benin. This initiative aims to break down informational silos between state departments and corporate partners. Collaboration between these sectors is expected to help align individual infrastructure projects with the broader goals of national governance. ASIN remains the central body responsible for managing these partnerships and ensuring that all digital activities adhere to the requirements established during the proceedings on 8 October 2026.
