It facilitates better data management and decision-making through advanced analytics and reporting tools. Technology also supports improved communication and coordination within and between institutions. For example, e‑government platforms streamline public services, making them more accessible and responsive. Furthermore, technological innovations like digital financial systems enhance financial management and control. Overall, technology drives modernization and innovation in institutional processes, contributing to more robust and effective governance.
