Ms Ginnie Lucas, Principal Secretary, Department of Information

Mr. Sebastien Pillay

Vice President of the Republic of Seychelles

It is with great honour and a deep sense of purpose that I welcome you to the official website of the Department of Information.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the free flow of accurate and timely information is no longer a privilege; it is the cornerstone of an empowered citizenry and the bedrock of sound governance. Our Department remains steadfastly committed to upholding these principles through transparent, responsible, and inclusive communication at every level of public life.

This platform represents more than a digital presence. It is a direct channel between Government and the people it serves, a space where policy meets public discourse, where national priorities are communicated with clarity, and where every citizen can access the information they need to participate meaningfully in our shared progress.

We continue to invest in strengthening our communication infrastructure, guided by our unwavering belief that an informed society is a resilient one. Through sustained collaboration with media, civil society, and our regional and international partners, we are building a culture of openness that reflects the highest ideals of democratic governance.

I invite you to explore the resources available on this site, and I encourage your continued engagement as we work together towards a more informed, more connected, and more prosperous nation.
