Summary
Nauru published its National Digital Transformation Strategy (NNDTS) 2025–2030, a government-adopted framework covering e-governance, digital public services, digital skills, cybersecurity, data protection, and electronic transactions. The strategy sets out legislative reforms and digital upskilling programmes aimed at government, business, and the general population.
Key details
The NNDTS 2025–2030 includes the following priority areas: streamlining government services and transparency through digital platforms; legislative reforms spanning data protection and privacy, cybersecurity, electronic transactions, and telecommunications regulation; digital skills development and digital inclusion; and creation of international partnership networks for digital capacity building.
Nauru is a micro-state with a population of approximately 10,000, and the strategy acknowledges dependence on donor support and regional partners for implementation. No dedicated AI governance body is named, but the strategy designates the government as coordinator of digital transformation, with AI referenced as part of the emerging technology landscape.
Scoring relevance
Dimension 10 — The government is named as the coordinating body for digital transformation, with AI referenced in the strategy framework. This meets a minimal advisory threshold only; there is no statutory AI regulator. Score: 1.
Dimension 13 — Digital inclusion and public digital upskilling programmes are included in the strategy scope. Score: 1 (policy commitment; implementation and ring-fenced funding not yet confirmed).
