The government of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, has achieved the objectives of its digital transformation strategy and has become the world’s first “paper-free”, the WAM news agency reported.
“[El hito] marks the beginning of a new stage in Dubai’s journey to digitize life in all its aspects, a journey rooted in innovation, creativity and a focus on the future, “said Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al Maktoum.
The so-called ‘Dubai Paper Free Strategy’, launched in 2018, has been implemented in five phases, each of which encompassed a different group of government institutions in the emirate.
A total of 45 government entities have cut the consumption of paper by more than 336 million sheets, which has meant savings of about 354 million dollars and more than 14 million hours of work throughout the Administration.
With the implementation of the strategy, all internal and external transactions and procedures of the Dubai Government are fully managed from a digital services platform.
