Since Wednesday 9 June 2021, eight new digitised public services have enriched the content of Benin's National Public Services Portal “service-public.bj”. These new e-services were launched at a ceremony held at the Golden Tulip in Cotonou in the presence of the Minister of State for the Economy and Finance, Mr Romuald WADAGNI; the Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, Ms Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU; and the Minister of Labour and the Civil Service, Ms Adidjatou MATHYS.
The new e-services are as follows:
- Work permit
- Employment contract approval for nationals
- Employment contract approval for expatriates
- Employer registration and contribution payment certificate
- Certificate of non-exclusion from public procurement
- Tax clearance certificate
- SBEE electricity connection
- Certificate of non-bankruptcy.
Through these new e-services, now available at https://service-public.bj/, the Government of the Republic of Benin intends to make it even easier for businesses to complete formalities, in particular those bidding in calls for tenders.
The key documents of a tender file, namely the Employer registration and contribution payment certificate, the Certificate of non-exclusion from public procurement, the Tax clearance certificate and the Certificate of non-bankruptcy, can now be obtained online in just a few clicks.
The digitisation of the Work permit, Employment contract approval for nationals, Employment contract approval for expatriates and SBEE electricity connection also saves businesses time in completing formalities.
This new wave of digitisation will have a direct impact on the ease of doing business in Benin and will further help to realise the vision of the Head of State, President Patrice TALON, for the digital sector: “To transform Benin into the digital services platform of West Africa to accelerate growth and social inclusion”.
