Smart Government applications generated savings of AED8.00 billion in three years, according to a study conducted by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, (TRA).
The study addressed the impact of the UAE Smart Government on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) from 2015 through 2017, during which e-services contributed to cutting 377,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, primarily thanks to reduced physical visits to complete transactions at state departments, according to a report by state news agency WAM.
The study covered 35 federal departments and 319 services and found out that since 2015 through 2017, a total of 30 million e-transactions have been conducted and the study further indicated that e-services have significantly contributed to automating jobs, saving more than 5800 posts across different federal departments in three years as well as considerably cutting time and reducing effort needed for getting transactions done.
