What Happened: Kuwait’s Notable Showing
In a remarkable display of governmental innovation, Kuwait secured 7.7% of the total Arab Government Excellence Awards,surpassing larger Arab nations in the process. This achievement was marked by two prestigious awards: one for the Public Authority for Anti-corruption “Nazaha” for the best initiative to develop government work, and another for the “Sahl” request, recognized for excellence in communications services. The awards were presented at a ceremony held at the League of Arab States headquarters, attended by Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Chairman of the Emirati Award’s Board of trustees, Mohammed Al-Gergawi.

The “sahl” Application: A Digital Transformation Success story
The “Sahl” application is at the forefront of Kuwait’s digital transformation efforts. It has dramatically streamlined government transactions for citizens. Ahmed Al-Mutawa, a Kuwaiti developer, highlights the impact: “It used to take me hours to complete one government transaction. Today, I complete five transactions in just a few minutes via Sahl.” This efficiency gain is a key indicator of the application’s success and its contribution to a smarter, more efficient future for Kuwait.
