Janak Kalaria, Senior Director, ICF
Government services are in the market for a new vision that offers a slightly different world to the one we operate in now. A world defined by high levels of citizen trust in their government. One where sensitive citizen data sets are never compromised. A reality where the public sector demonstrates high levels of operational efficiency in delivering various citizen services effectively. A world where taxpayer money is optimally utilized with minimal fraud, waste and abuse – allowing for the appropriate benefits to reach the right people at the right time. This is the vision for what’s possible when we capitalize on new opportunities powered by emerging technologies such as Blockchain that can be applied to making government more efficient, effective, and transparent.
