According to an Iranian official, the country is developing its mGovernment services which will be soon launched. This initiative is part of Iran’s National Portal for smart Government Services.
According to Mehr News, Mahdi Bina, project manager of Iran’s Smart Government has said that the “Dolate-e Hamrah” or mGovernment will soon be launched in order to provide government services through a seamless and integrated system available on all mobile channels. These mobile services are currently under development and are going through the final tests before the official launch.
“mGovernment services could be accessed through channels such as USSD codes, SMS, VMS, mobile applications and social media networks,” said Mahdi Bina. Due to government’s emphasis on its support for locally developed applications, we predict that aside from accessing services directly from the government’s website these services would probably only be available on Iranian social media networks and applications.
The Iranian government is currently giving grants to local messaging apps and has set incentives for them by placing its advertisements on these apps and issuing a license to set up banking and eGovernment services. Government employees are also encouraged to use messaging apps such as Soroush for their communications.
