Multistakeholder Movement for Digital Transformation (MMDT)
Sri Lanka

  • The National multi-stakeholder social movement and policy–action platform

Vision & Mission

Vision

To make Sri Lanka a globally competitive, inclusive, and innovation-driven digital economy, powered by digitally skilled citizens and trusted digital institutions.

Mission

To mobilise government, private sector, academia, civil society, media, and citizens into a coordinated national movement that accelerates digital transformation through policy advocacy, capacity building, public engagement, and practical pilots.

Rationale

Despite policy intent and isolated digital initiatives, Sri Lanka's digital transformation remains slow, fragmented, and elite-driven, with limited public ownership. MMDT responds by creating public pull, social legitimacy, and cross-sector alignment for digitalisation.

Create Mass Public Ownership of Digitalisation

Build awareness, trust, and citizen participation in digital transformation.

2

Strengthen Multi-Stakeholder Coordination

Align government agencies, private sector, academia, civil society, and media around shared digital goals.

3

Develop Digital Talent at Scale

Promote future-ready digital skills for youth, women, SMEs, public servants, and rural communities.

4

Support Policy-to-Implementation Gap Bridging

Translate national digital policies into practical, people-centred actions.

5

Enhance Sri Lanka's Global Digital Competitiveness

Position Sri Lanka as a credible regional digital talent and services hub.
