The Ministry of Municipality is implementing a number of projects and initiatives focusing on optimizing quality of life, prosperity, urban modernization, service excellence, and digital transformation in line with its strategy for 2024-30.
The newly launched smart cities solutions project of the Ministry of Municipality is one of them. The first phase of the smart cities solutions project includes the implementation of a smart waste management system, a vehicle management and task distribution system, and a central operations command platform.
The ministry is strengthening its public services through the implementation of new and innovative projects and initiatives, highlighting that the launch of these new systems is part and parcel of achieving the digital transformation of the ministry’s services, leveraging modern technologies including smart solutions and artificial intelligence (AI).
The goal is to achieve the highest levels of performance, quality, and productivity in services provided to the public, while also reducing operational costs and progressing towards smarter, greener, and sustainable cities.
This aligns with the objectives of Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030 and the final stages of the Qatar National Vision 2030, striving to establish the State of Qatar as a pioneering country in digital government.
The Ministry of Municipality has also completed 110 services out of 400 services which are being developed under its digital transformation project in a bid to provide smart and automated services to the public and beneficiary companies.
The digital services cover all sectors including agriculture, food security, urban development, general services and community services.
