Gabon Begins Validation of Digital Transformation Legal Framework
The discussions are organised around four key areas: digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital services, and the institutional and regulatory framework.
Gabon has begun validating draft legal texts aimed at strengthening the regulatory framework supporting the country’s digital transformation.
The validation process started on October 1, 2026, in Nkok and is expected to run for about ten days. It brings together stakeholders from relevant sectoral administrations to review and consolidate proposals before they are submitted to the competent authorities.
The work is being carried out under the Gabon Digital programme, with support from a consulting firm and financing from the World Bank. According to the Ministry of Economy, Digitalisation and Innovation, sectoral administrations have worked on the initiative since November 2024, covering field assessments, consultations, diagnosis and the drafting of proposed texts.
The discussions are organised around four key areas: digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital services, and the institutional and regulatory framework.
During the validation period, stakeholders will examine the draft proposals, provide feedback and consolidate the texts. The process is intended to establish a legal and regulatory framework capable of supporting the long-term digital transformation of Gabon’s public administration.
