Tonga National E-commerce Committee

About the Project

The outcomes of the Tonga E-commerce Strategy will be difficult to accomplish without a sound governance mechanism suitable to monitor, coordinate and provide strategic oversight over implementation.

The National E-commerce Committee for Tonga was established in 2023 and is chaired by the Minister of Trade and Economic Development. Members of the Committee comprise key line ministries responsible for some of the key policy areas described in the strategy. Representatives of the Strategy’s implementing agencies and funding partners attend as observers. The Committee meets at least twice annually, in person. It reports to Cabinet.
