Purpose
To support the Office for IT and e-Government in the electronic payments upgrade and improvement.
Objective
To support development of the common government ICT infrastructures and platforms, necessary for rapid provision of cost-effective, secure and citizen-focused e-services.
Background Information
Digital transformation of the national economy and public administration are among the key priorities of Serbian Government. In addition to providing high-level political support and institutional sponsorship, the government introduced a new institutional framework to manage this process and initiate internal changes. In 2017, the Office for IT and e Government (ITE) was created to consolidate government's ICT resources, develop shared infrastructures and support the transition from an institution-centric to a citizen-centric model of designing and providing e services. ITE was initially formed as a cabinet-level body, and in 2022 with the creation of the new Government, its status changed into a special organization. ITE also performs the tasks of coordinating the support to the international cooperation on the global market for digital, innovative and creative industries, as well as monitoring and promoting the connection of the public and private sectors in the areas of the digital innovative creative economy, aiming at sustainable and integrated economic growth of the Republic of Serbia.
UNDP provided support to this broad digitalization agenda of the Serbian Government since its inception, through "Serbia at your Fingertips – Digital Transformation for Development" project. This project comprises five segments. The first three relate to development of the e-government system, the fourth includes support for implementation of activities from the ministerial councils' agendas, while the fifth includes support for implementation of big infrastructural projects in e-Government. The new sixth component is related to the establishment of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Serbia, as well as the development of 4IR technology governance frameworks.
One of the key project outcomes is to improve design, accessibility and functionality of the electronic services, including the possibility to pay. All users of the eGovernment Portal are enabled to pay administrative fees electronically, for all services available on the Portal. Payment by national payment card - DinaCard, MasterCard, Maestro or Visa payment cards of all the banks operating on the Serbian market, as well as electronic money, is available. Citizens can pay for the services on the eGovernment Portal via integrated electronic banking. Still, the system needs to be further improved and the number of banks integrated with the module “ePlacanje +” on the eGovernment Portal shall increase. Moreover, POS (point of sale) and soft POS utilisation shall be further encouraged as an important part of the Government initiative to promote cashless payments.
UNDP is looking for the consultant to provide support to Office for IT and e-Government (ITE) in the electronic payments upgrade and improvement.
