Data presented shows that users saved an average of 300 minutes compared to traditional methods, reflecting the efficiency gains achieved through digital transformation.
Supporting Qatar’s Vision 2030
Both MCIT and GTA emphasized that the Dhareeba initiative aligns with the Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Digital Agenda 2030, which aim to establish Qatar as a global leader in digital governance through agile, citizen- and business-centric services.
