ENGAGEMENT WITH COMMUNITY
MITA not only serves the Public Administration, it engages with society to encourage take-up of ICTs in the wider economy. Furthermore, it acts as a national asset during events of strategic and national importance.
The Agency collaborates with various government, national and international organisations to implement programmes eliciting the take-up of digital technologies.

There is also emphasis on increasing the take-up of government digital services and in providing ICT professionals and students with hands-on digital experience.
