📋 Tender Overview
Brazil advances another step in facing digital exclusion. This Monday (15), the Ministry of Communications (MCOM) promoted the first meeting of the two thematic chambers of the Interministerial Working Group (GTI), responsible for the preparation of the National Digital Inclusion Plan (PNID). Formed by eight ministries each, in addition to 24 civil society entities, the teams will have the mission to map and reduce digital gaps, expanding quality access to the internet to millions of Brazilians who still live without connectivity or depend on a precarious network.
According to the Secretary of Telecommunications of MCOM, Hermano Tercius, the plan will prioritize these audiences. Our focus is to bring quality internet to those who are still disconnected and also improve the experience of those who today can only access the network. PNID will transform their digital reality and expand their social and economic benefits, he said.
GTI has 90 days to complete the diagnosis and propose solutions to combat digital gaps, which can be extended for an equal period if necessary. To accelerate the process, MCOM has made all the federal government ministries requesting information on initiatives in progress that can be integrated into the PNID.
We had a meeting marked by the broad participation of various ministries of the Federal Government and representative entities of civil society, including academia, social organizations and the productive sector. Today, there are different digital inclusion projects spread in various folders. Our proposal is to gather, evaluate and enhance these initiatives, ensuring that the plan is robust, strategic and effective, said Tercius.
The thematic chambers have representatives of civil society selected by public call and will act in conjunction with the government in the formulation of proposals. With this meeting, MCOM completed the team composition stage that will be responsible for structuring the plan.
PNID is coordinated by the Ministry of Communications, in partnership with the Presidency Civil House, and presents itself as one of the main initiatives to reduce inequalities and democratize access to technology in the country.
