About the Technical Assistance
The Technical Assistance will provide OIKN with detailed enterprise architecture designs and definition of technical requirements for high-priority Smart City Features.

Additionally, the Technical Assistance will provide OIKN with a roadmap for developing the organizational and staff capacity to effectively deploy and operate Nusantara’s smart city infrastructure.
