International Strategy, DFFT

Into the world's leading digital government

We will promote International Strategy such as strengthening international cooperation and DFFT (Data Free Flow with Trust) by sharing technology and knowledge, and aim to become the world's leading digital government.
While data is essential for global business promotion and Issue solutions, a regulatory cooperation and technological collaboration mechanism is required to enable the reliable use of data across countries while ensuring security and privacy. In addition, countries are facing the same problems as Japan in digitalization, and are required to cooperate in solving them.

Annual Results and Progress

Establishment and promotion of the Institutional Arrangement for Partnership (IAP) (IAP) to realize DFFT (Data Free Flow with Trust).
At the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May 2023, the establishment of the Institutional Arrangement for Partnership (IAP) for DFFT (Data Free Flow with Trust) was approved, and it was agreed to be established under the OECD in December 2023. While promoting the project in cooperation with ASEAN through the IAP, at the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting in May 2024, which was chaired by the Japanese government, it was agreed to start discussions on strengthening the IAP for organization. We are working in an integrated manner at home and abroad to improve the framework (international data governance) that promotes data connections and protection measures across borders, industries, etc. In addition, throughout the year, we signed Memorandam of Cooperation (MoC) with each country and promoted mutual learning by sharing digital transformation's experience. We are deepening discussions on cooperation and collaboration in the technology field not only with G7 member countries but also with G20, Global South, Asian, Nordic, and Middle Eastern countries.

Future development (planned)

We will promote DFFT (Data Free Flow with Trust) at the following meetings.

  • G20 Digital Economy Ministers' Meeting

Optimization of Government Information Systems

Implement necessary measures and optimize government information systems

The next five years will be an "intensive action period" to promote the optimization of DX and government information systems, and the system will be strengthened.
On both the supply-side and the demand-side, it is important to think about Japan's resources from the perspective of ensuring that the limited labor force and time are used productively and efficiently. As a basic direction, on the supply-side, we will take steps to avoid overlapping investment in digitalization, to avoid resources sticking to old technologies, and to contribute to resource development. By doing so, we will be consistent with trends in industry, and on the demand-side, we will eliminate waste and inconvenience by reducing the workload related to government business efficiency, IT procurement, and operation, and improving user convenience.

Annual Results and Progress

In order to optimize the entire government information system, efforts will be made from the perspective of "visualization" of cost-effectiveness.
With the aim of providing a convenient and high-quality experience for both the demand-side and the supply-side, we will continue to work on the target of reducing operating expenses, etc. of government information systems by 30% based on the results of the three pronged approach of systems, business, and systems, and will announce the achievement status based on the annual settlement of accounts. In addition, we will quantitatively visualization the cost effectiveness of information system-related expenses using the framework of the Administrative Project Review Sheet to maximize the overall effects obtained by convenience, such as user efficiency, control and reduction of future information system expenses, administrative digitalization, and economic effects from the creation of new services and business opportunities.

Future development (planned)

  • In order to improve the convenience of users, Digital Agency will promote the integration and standardization of government information systems through the supervision and supervision of government information systems, facilitate cooperation with private service, and integrally promote the reform of public service from the viewpoint of users and the reform of information systems.
    Therefore, Digital Agency will implement centralized project management of government information systems in cooperation with each ministries and agencies PMO from the viewpoint of whether or not each project is based on information systems development policies.
  • Based on the policies for the development of information systems, each ministries and agencies will, under the leadership of the Digital Agency, promote business process reengineering (BPR), thoroughly utilize common functions, integrate and consolidate systems, and so on, in order to control the cost of system upgrades among the operating and maintenance costs of fixed information systems. The Government as a whole will continue to aim to reduce the cost of system upgrades by 30% by the time of twenty twenty-five from the total of approximately 540 billion yen of the operating and maintenance costs of government information systems as of FY 2020.
  • In addition, each ministries and agencies will not only control the cost of information systems, but will also validation whether the effects obtained by the digitalization, such as the convenience of users, the efficiency of administration, and the economic effects from the creation of new services and business opportunities, are commensurate with the maintenance expenses and operation expenses required in the life cycle of the related information systems. In this way, each will maximize the overall cost effectiveness, constantly work to improve productivity, and visualization these efforts.

Annual Results and Progress

It aims to improve convenience and secure cybersecurity at the same time.
For the government information services supervised by Digital Agency, we have developed a framework for comprehensive operation monitoring aimed at improving IT governance in Digital Agency by building a mechanism to support IT management and understanding the overall status of the provision of each service. In addition, we have conducted a survey and research project on implementation for the Continuous Risk Diagnosis and Response (CRSA) system, and have constructed a system to periodically collect and analyze data necessary for cyber security risk diagnosis for infrastructure systems of leading ministries and agencies. In order to promote the expansion of cloud-by-default in public authorities and other areas, we have promoted registration for ISMAP-LIU (Low-Impact Use) of the "security Evaluation Scheme for cloud service in Government Information Systems" (ISMAP). We have received questions and consultations about registration at a consultation counter established in Digital Agency and provided advice for registration.

Future development (planned)

  • By the end of FY 2024, we will develop a comprehensive operation and monitoring system to grasp the overall service provision status of government information systems developed by Digital Agency. We will proceed with the construction of a comprehensive operation monitoring system, the expansion of functions, and the expansion of monitored systems.
  • We will develop the Continuous Risk Assessment and Response (CRSA) system by the end of fiscal 2024, expand its functions, and gradually expand the ministries and agencies in which the system is used.
  • Since it is essential to balance the enhancement of convenience from the people's point of view with the securement of public service, including the stable and safe provision of cybersecurity to the people, we will strengthen cybersecurity in Digital Agency by steadily taking measures.
