MedNum Mayotte: Association for the democratization of digital tools for management

MedNum is an association born from a call for projects co-developed by the Regional Chamber for Social and Solidarity Economy (CRESS) and the Regional Academic Delegation for Youth, Commitment and Sport (DRAJES). The winners, the founders of the association, Sidi Mohammadi (current director) and Kamaluddin Attomani, have the challenging task of facilitating the digital transition of Mahoran residents. “It’s about making it clear to people that departments will no longer receive the public and showing them how to do their administrative procedures online”As Mr. Mohammedi says. This ranges from creating a digital identity and email address to controlling more complex sites such as the ANTS site or the tax site.

Giant mission

Despite the enormous needs in this area of ​​the territory, MedNum Mayotte has only ten agents who travel with their tablets in all designated digital spaces (CCAS, UTAS and CRESS digital spaces). A vastly insufficient number according to the manager. “Logistics is very difficult because we lack personnel. It will be necessary to double the material and human means in order to be truly effective”He believes that he hopes the grants obtained in 2021 and 2022 will continue in the coming years. “Mayotte should not miss the train”He warns, again, of his concern that elected officials will see more interest in the matter.

It is true that work on the island of Mayotte is great, because a large part of the population does not have the Internet and some residents do not speak French. However, doing your administrative actions online will soon be the only option (it’s already available for some services), hence the urgent need to learn how to use the sites properly. “While working in this field, we’ve found that most people only understand about 10% of the potential of their phone”Note, Sir Al-Mohamadi. The latter assumes that the choice of the Apple brand of tablets may be an obstacle to obtaining financing, since they are more expensive. “Sure, but it’s also more reliable over time, which is an important component in an area where there is no repairman”he explains.

He therefore appeals to the elected representatives of the communities and/or the county council so that his association will soon receive greater financial support in order to be able to properly meet the needs of the county.
