GITEX 2021: Dubai Culture receives 100% paperless stamp

Dubai Culture succeeded in achieving the 100% paperless stamp, becoming the only government entity to receive two stamps.

The honouring of Dubai Culture came during a press conference organised by Digital Dubai as part of its platform at GITEX Technology Week 2021, during which it celebrated the government entities that fully implemented the Dubai Paperless Strategy.

Badri expressed the Authority's pride in this achievement, stressing that it embodies Dubai Culture’s commitment to supporting the emirate's path towards digital transformation and strengthening Dubai's position as a global leader in the field of digital governments. The achievement is also in line with the Authority’s strategic objectives towards digital transformation and the spreading of happiness among its internal and external customers, meeting their aspirations to access its services smoothly and easily within the highest quality standards.

As part of its efforts to implement the Dubai Paperless Strategy, Dubai Culture launched a number of initiatives and took many qualitative steps in this regard, most prominently the replacement of paper tickets with digital tickets at museums via the Nol card. Paper printing was also discontinued at the Authority's offices, as it was able to cancel the use of nearly 40 printers and the printing of more than 2 million papers, which is equivalent to saving more than 240 trees, 80,000 hours and AED 7.5 million. The electronic signature was also activated through UAE PASS across all the Authority’s operations and services, and the automation of human-resource procedures was applied on employment contracts, renewal of employee residencies, salary certificates, etc. Administrative-affair procedures for contracts, and financial management procedures were also automated, replacing supplier invoices and bank transfer documents with a sophisticated electronic system.
