Members of the Council highlighted the need for continuous monitoring of all government departments to ensure they meet their targets and provide services in the best possible manner. They stressed that performance evaluation should be consistent and transparent, helping authorities identify areas that need improvement.

Approval of the Government Data Sharing Guide

One of the key decisions made during the meeting was the approval of the Government Data Sharing Guide. This guide is designed to make data sharing between government entities easier, faster, and more organized.

The guide aims to:

• Accelerate administrative processes across departments.

• Improve transparency in government operations.

• Standardize the exchange of data between government entities.

• Build a fully integrated digital environment for decision-making.

By following this guide, all government authorities can coordinate better and work in harmony. The guide ensures that decisions are based on accurate and up-to-date information.

Features of the Data Sharing Guide

The guide provides detailed instructions on how data should be shared between local government entities within Sharjah and with entities outside the government. It also explains:

• How to request and provide data.

• How to classify data correctly.

• Guidelines for managing risks related to data sharing.

• Steps for proper governance and use of information.

Moreover, the guide includes approved templates to make the process more efficient, reduce errors, and ensure that data is easy to access and understand. This step is expected to improve the quality of government services and enhance cooperation between different authorities.

Review of Housing Support Projects

The Council also reviewed a detailed report on housing support projects currently underway across the Emirate. These projects are part of Sharjah’s continuous efforts to provide citizens with affordable and high-quality housing.

The housing support programs are designed to:

• Provide financial support to citizens for building their homes.

• Reduce burdens on beneficiaries by offering practical assistance.

• Simplify construction procedures to make the process faster and easier.

• Ensure homes meet the highest technical and construction standards.

By maintaining these standards, the government ensures that citizens have sustainable and safe homes. These efforts also promote family stability and help provide a decent standard of living for everyone.

The Council discussed the progress of ongoing housing projects and evaluated how effectively the programs are helping citizens. They focused on improving the delivery of services and ensuring that every eligible citizen receives the support they need.

Promoting Family Stability and Community Welfare

The Executive Council stressed that these initiatives are not just about providing houses. They are also about building stronger families and communities. By offering secure and well-planned housing, the government aims to create a stable environment where families can grow and thrive.

Housing support projects are carefully designed to meet the social and financial needs of citizens. Each project is evaluated to ensure that homes are not only comfortable but also safe and sustainable. The Council confirmed that this approach is in line with Sharjah’s vision for long-term development and prosperity.

Enhancing Digital Government Services

The approval of the Government Data Sharing Guide is also linked to the broader vision of creating a digital and smart government in Sharjah. By integrating technology into government processes, the Emirate can provide faster and more efficient services to citizens.

The Council emphasized that sharing accurate data between authorities helps in:

• Making informed decisions.

• Planning projects effectively.

• Identifying areas that require attention or improvement.

This integrated approach ensures that government departments work together as a unified system, ultimately benefiting citizens and enhancing public trust in government services.

Future Plans and Vision

The Council also highlighted the importance of keeping citizens at the center of all initiatives. Whether it is housing projects, policy implementation, or digital services, the main goal is to improve the lives of people in Sharjah.

Through careful planning, coordination, and monitoring, the government aims to maintain a high standard of living, provide sustainable housing, and ensure that all citizens benefit from modern and effective government services.

The recent meeting of the Sharjah Executive Council highlights the Emirate’s commitment to progress, innovation, and the well-being of its citizens.
