Course description

THE CONFERENCE

The Conference on Cloud Computing for Public Service Delivery is a global platform designed to empower public institutions, government agencies, and ICT leaders with the strategic knowledge and technical competence required to modernize service delivery through secure, scalable, and high-performing cloud ecosystems.

As governments increasingly adopt digital transformation strategies, cloud computing has become the backbone of efficient governance, citizen engagement, and data-driven decision-making. This conference responds to the growing need for resilient digital infrastructures capable of supporting real-time collaboration, inter-agency integration, and the safe management of sensitive public data.

Through interactive sessions, expert-led workshops, and case-based discussions, participants will explore critical issues such as cloud infrastructure planning, data security and privacy, hybrid and multi-cloud models, disaster recovery, and digital service optimisation. Emphasis will also be placed on policy frameworks, cyber governance, and capacity building to ensure that cloud adoption aligns with institutional mandates and national digital policies.

By the end of the conference, participants will be able to:

▪ understand the core concepts, frameworks, and strategic importance of cloud computing in public service modernization;

▪ design and implement scalable, secure, and efficient cloud infrastructure tailored to institutional and national needs;

▪ evaluate and select appropriate cloud deployment models (public, private, hybrid, or multi-cloud) to enhance performance and operational resilience;

▪ strengthen data governance, cybersecurity, and privacy controls to safeguard sensitive public-sector information;

▪ integrate digital transformation strategies with cloud-based service delivery to improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility;

▪ apply cost-optimization and resource management techniques for sustainable cloud adoption and lifecycle management;

▪ build institutional capacity for cloud migration, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement;

▪ develop policy frameworks that ensure compliance with national regulations, data sovereignty, and international standards; and

▪ collaborate effectively with private cloud service providers, ICT regulators, and inter-agency partners for shared success.
