In general, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GOAB), fully supports the use of ICT in every area of government, and as a means of national development. Its overall goals are to become a SMART government, wired into today's technology.

To achieve these goals, the government will develop a comprehensive e-government platform to provide the population with easier access to government information and services, and to generally increase the efficiency of interactions between government and its citizens.

Specifically, the GOAB will:

• Computerize all government departments to ensure that technology infrastructure remains at the leading edge and can deliver reliable government services at the lowest cost.
• Provide computer training to public sector employees by providing scholarships to attend ABIIT.
• Computerize police records to enable rapid profile scans, motor vehicle identification, and fingerprinting matching and to improve police crime fighting and efficiency.
• Utilize computerized technology to provide secure, efficient and cost effective record keeping and retrieval.
• Make available on the Internet government forms, e.g. passport applications, income tax, customs.
• Make available on the Internet copies of published government reports, laws and documents.
• Publish all Requests for Tender Proposals on the Internet.
• Introduce the registration of companies and businesses, and the payment of utility bills via the Internet.
• The Government Information Technology Center is responsible for the implementation of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda's ICT policy, and it currently being guided by a national Information Technology Strategic Plan.
