"Digdaya NU will become NU's digital universe. All NU members' affairs will be here. Alhamdulillah, the basic design is ready," said Gus Yahya. This is a strategic step designed to face future challenges and ensure that NU remains relevant in the digital era.

Main Components of Digdaya NU

1. Digitalization of Data and Services

Through Digdaya NU, NU's data and services will be integrated into a digital platform. This allows for better data management, easier access, and more efficient services for NU members.

2. Online Access

One of the main goals of Digdaya NU is to ensure that all organizational affairs can be accessed online. This way, NU members can handle their needs anytime and anywhere without having to visit the NU office directly.

3. Structured Management

Digdaya NU also aims to create a more structured and coherent management system. This includes competency assessments for NU cadres responsible for various bodies or institutions under PBNU.

Steps Towards the Future

According to Gus Yahya, Digdaya NU is part of a long-term vision to build a jam'iyyah structure that functions like a government. "We want to build a structure that functions like a government, with the board structure as the government and the congregation as its citizens," he explained.

Additionally, Digdaya NU will support systematic agendas designed to address universal problems faced by Indonesian society and the world. "The agendas must be systematic, not chaotic, and must reflect strategies to tackle universal problems," added Gus Yahya.

Digital Transformation of NU

With the launch of Digdaya NU, PBNU hopes to bring significant changes in organizational governance, making it more efficient and responsive to the needs of the community. This transformation is expected to face future challenges and make a real contribution to the progress of Indonesian society and the world.

PBNU Secretary General H Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) also emphasized the importance of strategic steps to ensure coherence among PBNU work programs. "Comprehensive and integrated planning, improving human resources through AKN, and digital transformation are key to achieving this vision," he said.

With Digdaya NU, Nahdlatul Ulama is not only following the times but also leading with innovation. This initiative reflects NU's commitment to continually adapt and provide the best services for its members and the wider community. (*)
