What Ministry of Digital Development and Innovative Technologies does

The Ministry of Digital Development and Innovative Technologies (SÖITM) of the Kyrgyz Republic is the central executive authority responsible for state policy on digitization, electronic government, telecommunications, and innovative technologies, operating under the Cabinet of Ministers. Established May 5, 2021 by Presidential Decree No. 114 through the merger of the State Digital Development Service and the State Registration Service, and renamed on March 17, 2025 to incorporate the innovative technologies mandate, it is led by Minister Azamat Zhamangulov and headquartered in Bishkek.

Its core digital platform is the Tunduk ecosystem: the portal.tunduk.kg electronic services gateway, a mobile application with 2 million downloads, the Infodocs Electronic Document Management Center (17.2 million documents registered), a cloud electronic digital signature service (1.6 million signatures issued), and a unified identification system with 1.5 million users. The Ministry also operates the Open Data Portal (data.gov.kg) publishing 1,403 datasets from 51 government organizations, an ICAO-compliant PKI certificate system for international passport verification, and a national Public Service Center network that delivered 2.2 million in-person services. Six wholly-owned subordinate entities execute the operational mandate, including Kyrgyz Telecom, Kyrgyz Post, the Tunduk State Institution, the Service for Regulation and Supervision of Communications, the Department of Population Registration, and the Archive Service.

The entity is funded through the state budget and provides services as mandated public functions rather than through commercial pricing. Strategic programs include the 2024–2028 Digital Transformation Concept, the World Bank-backed Digital CASA-KR regional connectivity and data-center project, the Kyrgyzstan Codes free Udacity-backed training program, and a January 2026 cooperation memorandum with the Eurasia KG Public Foundation covering AI, ICT, and cybersecurity. The Ministry also exercises shareholder and supervisory functions over state-owned joint-stock companies in telecommunications and postal services.
