The government of Morobe Province in Papua New Guinea announced it is partnering with PNG DataCo and Oracle to transform itself into an AI-enabled digital government.

The “Morobe Digital Government Project – MMU” initiative, announced on Monday, aims to create a cloud-based platform to establish Morobe as the most transparent, efficient and citizen-centred provincial government not only in PNG, but in the Pacific region.

DataCo and Oracle will serve as technology and solution partners to jointly provide the full digital platform for the project. The partners will deploy Oracle cloud applications, digital infrastructure and platform services to integrate financial management, procurement, human resources, citizen services and business regulation into a single digital ecosystem accessible by a single online portal.

The Morobe government plans to offer digital services such as a publicly accessible AI-based budget monitoring dashboard designed to provide real-time visibility of provincial spending, a fully digital procurement system enabling all tenders to be published, submitted and evaluated online, an AI-powered scholarship vetting system, and a blockchain-based land registry pilot is proposed to secure and modernise land title management.

Services such as the AI budget dashboard, digital procurement system and GST-compliant business registration are slated for initial delivery within the first calendar year of the project. Others, such as the blockchain land registry and an integrated digital ID system that will link residents to records, may be phased or partially implemented, the government said.

The government said that while Oracle’s blockchain capabilities can support the project’s objectives, “detailed technical and legal reviews will be required before full implementation.”

As for the digital ID system, Oracle’s cloud infrastructure can support such a system, but the government proposal notes that a complete digital ID solution will require additional integration beyond Oracle’s native offerings.
