The Executive Team of the National Online Services Index, OSI, one of the National Agenda indicators of UAE Vision 2021, held its second meeting for 2019. The OSI Executive Team includes representatives of 11 federal and local government entities, headed by Salem Al Housani, Acting Deputy Director General for Information and eGovernment Sector and Leader of the OSI Executive Team.
Those attending the meeting reviewed the achievements of the first phase of the plan, according to the six phases’ concept, O6. The plan was divided into four phases, with six weeks set aside for each phase, in which the sub-teams are assigned a list of tasks to be completed, before moving on to a new phase of six more weeks. These tasks include a participatory work programme shared among government entities.
Sub-teams also presented their visions on the best mechanism for implementing the second phase of the plan, which includes the dissemination of participatory practices to all government entities, the development of the e-Participation Portal, the review of service cards, ensuring availability of all information of interest to the customer, training data ambassador candidates on the use of data platforms, linking the official data portal with the open data pages of federal entities with the addition of content, which indicates the proportion of open data published, and other functions that will strengthen the state's position in online services.
The OSI Executive Team will meet for the third time in April to study and discuss what has been achieved in phases one and two of O6 Plan and the requirements to prepare for the two remaining phases.
The O6 Action Plan represents a roadmap to reach the third position globally by the middle of this year, based upon four pillars, simulating expectations at the local government level, addressing the challenges of the OSI, the impact of soft power, and implementing innovative elements.
