Cabinet meeting discusses 'Digital Jordan' project

AMMAN — Prime Minister Hani Mulki on Wednesday chaired a Cabinet meeting and listened to a briefing on the progress of work on electronic transformation towards "Digital Jordan", the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The "Digital Jordan" project focuses on developing the services of five ministries: Health, Finance, Industry, Interior and Justice and its affiliated departments, as well as developing the services of the Greater Amman Municipality and the Investment Authority, Petra said.

Ten electronic services will begin in 2018 "exclusively" without the provision of traditional methods in a number of departments, in the framework of a plan to provide around 500 electronic services to citizens and investors by 2020.

ICT Minister Majd Shweikeh affirmed that the "Digital Jordan" project’s work is in progress and procedures in many ministries and service departments will be re-designed before 2020.
