One of the main objectives of this project is to support the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) to be more knowledgeable regarding the main global and regional trends regarding the digital transformation of the public sector, the main weaknesses and gaps of the current Qatari online services catalogue, and online user experience in public portals. The other main objective is to, in agreement with the previous objective, provide MCIT and other Qatari public entities involved in providing digital public services with a set of recommendations and ongoing advice that will help them enhance the provision of online services in the country. A final objective is, as a positive side effect of the activities developed in the context of this project, to support the state of Qatar in improving its ranking and score in the UNDESA Electronic Government Development Index (EGDI).
