Part of a Department of Finance initiative to boost online services
Dubai: Dubai’s Department of Finance (DOF) is leading an initiative to promote using online channels to deliver government services; it aims to complete the smart transformation by 2021.
From October 21-25, Dubai will see a ‘Week without Service Centres’ initiative. This comes after a great success of the initiative’s first edition the last year, when it was organised for one day, after being approved by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai.
During the week, 100 service centres of 40 entities, a few of which are semi-government and private entities, will be fully using online options to deliver on 1,100 services.
