eGovernment Portal
It is a "one stop shop Portal" and is the key service delivery channel for individuals, business, government and visitors, which integrates and provides all types of vital services.
The eGovernment Portal, available in Arabic and English, is aligned with Bahrain Strategic Vision 2030 to provide informational, interactive, and transactional services, including online payment facility and also to provide a platform for customers to give their feedback and participate in framing government pulicies and enhancing service delivery.
The Portal has been launched on 23rd, May, 2007, and it's being managed by the eGovernment Authority as part of the Kingdom of Bahrain's national strategy to execute the comprehensive eGovernment programs.
In 3rd, November, 2008, the portal address was changed to an easier address as result of a customer survey study which revealed the difficulty of memorizing the uld address.
eGovernment Services uptake
The eGovernment strategy of Bahrain has envisaged for increasing the uptake of services provided through electronic channels. There has been considerable increase in the uptake of electronic services in the Kingdom since the launch of the strategy implementation from April 2007. This is the result of the efforts of eGovernment in creating an enabling environment for people to use the services.
