The initiative, in line with the iGA’s commitment to social-distancing during the current pandemic, aims to strengthen its communication with citizens, residents, and specialists in the information technology field. Participants in this casual conversation will be encouraged to share their suggestions on how to improve the services offered by the iGA, and develop the role of technology in a post-coronavirus world.

The “eMajlis” provides the public an opportunity to communicate directly with senior iGA officials, including Chief Executive Mohammed Ali Al Qaed. “We are committed to advancing our eServices and enhancing the user experience of all our beneficiaries,” said Al Qaed. “Improving the quality and efficiency of these services will support the government’s digital transformation process, making them accessible through different online channels, platforms and smartphone applications.”
