Governments in the Middle East are investing heavily in implementing e-government services. However, adoption of these systems is being held back by low internet penetration rates and poor IT skills in the region. To combat the skills problem, governments are investing in IT training for their populations based on ICDL (International Computer Driving License) standards.

Dubai has long been considered as one of the region’s leaders in digital government and ICDL training. To date, the emirate’s e-government departments, through the Dubai eGovernment platform, are delivering no less than 1,500 e-services, of which around 1,200 of these are transactional services while the rest are informational services.
