By Saving More Than 336 Million Sheets Of Paper, Dubai Becomes The World’s First Paperless Government

Dubai has now become the world’s first paperless government, following the successful implementation of the Dubai Paperless Strategy, which was introduced in 2018. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, made the news in a tweet.

Ever since the implementation of the paperless plan, 45 government institutions in Dubai have reduced paper usage by more than 336 million papers, more than Dh1.3 billion in associated expenditures, and more than 14 million man-hours.

“Today marks the beginning of a new stage in Dubai’s journey to digitise life in all its aspects – a journey rooted in innovation, creativity, and a focus on the future,” said Sheikh Hamdan.

“As we complete a full transition to a paperless government, we are proud to see the ambitious vision of our leadership being fulfilled by the people of our country who have worked hard to enhance Dubai’s competitiveness as a world-leading digital capital and reinforce its profile as a role model in designing government operations and services that enhance customer happiness.”
