The eGovernment project of Dubai initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MOAF) is well on track with the soft launch of 25 eServices scheduled for launch by December 1, 2005.
The Federal eGovernment team yesterday discussed the latest developments in the implementation plan and the progress of MOAFs eGovernment project. Saeed bin Mohammad Al Raghabani, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, discussed the progress with Abdulla Aleter, Assistant Under-Secretary for Human Resources, Finance and Information Technology at the ministry, Dr Emir Mavani, the Federal eGovernment Programme Director and other officials.
The soft launch of these services under Wave 1 have been scheduled for end of December 2005. A total of 46 eServices will be developed by the eGovernment team under Wave 2 and Wave 3 by mid next year.
I am extremely pleased with the rapid progress made by the eGovernment team on implementation of the eGovernment project at the ministry. In particular, I would like to emphasise the importance of Stream 3 which is the Knowledge Management phase. This phase is highly essential as it will lead to qualitative change as knowledge gets harvested across the ministry, said Al Raghabani.
Stream 2 which is the second phase will lead to a full scale automation of the ministry with connectivity of all the MOAF physical branches across the Emirates through high speed Internet services.
Stream 3 which is the third and last phase of the project is the Knowledge Management stream which is aimed at increasing learning and knowledge across all levels at the ministry.
Commenting on the project, Ahmad bin Ghannam, Deputy Director, eGovernment Programme, said the eGovernment team expressed appreciation for the strong support of the minister in this initiative.
