One government portal, cheaper data, fibre to every island
SUM will build a single e-government portal for every public service, drive down internet and mobile data prices through competition, lay high-speed fibre across the inhabited islands, and train young Seychellois for the digital economy.
The problem
Government still runs on queues and paper while the world runs on a phone. Data costs too much, connections are uneven, and our young people are trained for yesterday. Connectivity is no longer a luxury. It is the road every other opportunity travels on.

What SUM will do
A single e-government portal
Taxes, permits and registrations in one interlinked digital platform, cutting wait times by up to eighty percent and ending needless bureaucracy.
Cheaper internet and data
Public-private partnerships and more licensed providers to force competition, plus satellite options for remote areas, so connectivity is affordable everywhere.
Fibre across the islands
High-speed fibre infrastructure across the main inhabited islands, future-proofing schools, business and daily life.
Youth tech skills
Fintech and IT training built into education, with industry mentorship, internships and certifications so our youth reach the high-paying global digital economy.
How it works, step by step
Build one government portal
Taxes, permits and registrations move onto a single interlinked platform, so a citizen enters verified information once instead of re-entering it across disconnected offices, cutting wait times by up to eighty percent.
Force competition on data prices
More licensed providers and public-private partnership drive down the price of internet and mobile data, with satellite options for the areas the cables do not reach.
Lay fibre across the islands
High-speed fibre reaches the main inhabited islands, future-proofing schools, clinics, business and daily life.
Train youth for digital work
Fintech and IT training is built into education with industry mentorship, internships and certifications, so young Seychellois can reach the high-paying global digital economy from home.
In real life
Government you can finish on a phone, data you can afford, connections that reach the outer islands, and a generation trained for the work the world is actually hiring for.
What used to mean a morning of queues across three offices becomes a task finished on a phone, because the services share the same verified record.
Fibre and affordable data put the same online courses and job markets within reach as a student in Victoria, so where she lives stops capping what she can learn and earn.
A single portal removes duplicated systems and staff time, so it saves money as it improves service. Cheaper data comes from competition and licensing, which cost the state little. Fibre is delivered through public-private partnership, spreading the build cost and bringing private investment alongside public.
On this article
How does one portal cut waiting times so much?
Most delay is re-entering the same information across disconnected offices. Interlinked services share verified data once, so a citizen does the work a single time.
Will rural and outer islands really get connectivity?
Yes. Fibre to the main islands and satellite solutions for the harder-to-reach areas are both in the plan, because a two-speed digital nation is not acceptable.
How does one portal cut waiting times so much?
Most delay comes from re-entering the same details across offices that do not talk to each other. Interlinked services share verified data once, so the citizen does the work a single time.
Will the outer islands really get connected?
Yes. Fibre to the main islands and satellite for the harder-to-reach areas are both in the plan, because a two-speed digital nation is not acceptable.
