Capital of Mali, Bamako is undoubtedly the economic and political center of the country. Having no digital transformation plan at this time, the Bamako District has chosen to join the ASToN network to undertake work aimed at setting up an electronic tax system. The ASToN project takes in the entire Bamako District, representing six municipalities. The Bamako District performs tasks requiring extensive equipments and coordination between the municipalities.
Thanks to the development of a digital solution, the project benefits in terms of increased tax collections will allow the authority to invest more in its underfunded public services or human resources, and thus improve the daily quality of life of citizens.
