This morning, Honourable Minister Toelupe Poumulinuku Onesemo, Minister for Communications, Information and Technology, shared Samoa’s experience in building the digital economy at the Digital Transformation Critical Success Factors Forum as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM)2024.
The CHOGM side event, hosted by the Commonwealth Telecoms Organisation, shared a report which examined critical success factors and challenges of digital transformation in Commonwealth countries. The session’s key aim was to raise awareness of the need for digital transformation and provision of tools to measuring progress. This was followed by a panel discussion by Commonwealth representatives and industry experts.
Honourable Minister Onesemo highlighted “through the implementation of e-government services we have started to build the foundation of the digital economy”, sharing Samoa’s experience in building resilience and the benefits of digitalisation.
It’s CHOGM Day 2 and today the CHOGM Cyber and ICT Team will again be supporting technical requirements across all events. Please reach out with any questions about wifi, audio, printing, photocopying, or other ICT and cyber security-related issues.
You will see the team in their black shirts at the Women’s Forum, People’s Forum, Youth Forum and Side Events.
Enjoy day two and all the best for the day’s activites!
The CHOGM Cyber and ICT team are taking the opportunity this week to remind everyone that there are simple steps that we can each take to be more secure online!
The first of four steps is to UPsize your passwords on key accounts. We recommend using a passphrase (four or more words) to help you create something easy to remember.
See the SamCERT Website for more info on what makes a good password: https://www.samcert.gov.ws/create-good-passwords
