The first ever #DigitalBangsamoro Center in the Bangsamoro region, which features an interactive call center and a one-stop shop web portal for public services, was officially opened in the municipality of Piagapo, Lanao del Sur by the Ministry of Interior and Local Government (MILG) with the support of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the Philippines.

In an effort to make public service delivery more effective, efficient and accessible in Mindanao, the government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) forged a partnership with UNDP Philippines for the Localizing e-Governance for Accelerated Provision of Services (LeAPS) Program — a flagship program of the MILG, which will support the Office of the Chief Minister, all BARMM ministries, and several LGUs in using ICT solutions to simplify business processes, thus improving the quality and speed of local public services and making these more accessible to the Bangsamoro people.
