Under the project, the plan is to install almost 200 000 km of fibre-optic links, including 1 300 km of submarine cable, in the period 2015-2018. The project is the largest of its kind worldwide, featuring a wide range of implementation challenges such as geography, geomorphology, climate, economic and social conditions, with a wide variety of tasks to be resolved within a short time-frame (SDGs 1,8,9 and 11). Launched on 1 May 2012, the system was serving 203 government organizations as at 30 September 2014, covering 58 systems such as rice mortgage information tracking and integration, management of the women's development fund, and the strategic water resource management plan.
