The Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) just launched the Government Directory mobile app on the eGovernment Apps store. iGA’s app will be providing a comprehensive set of official’s contact details, in addition to government entities locations and social media accounts.
Mr. Mohammed Abdulaziz, Acting Director of eServices & Channel Enhancement at iGA mentioned that the app is part of the direct government communication series with citizens and residents, where it includes contact details of senior public officials – ministers, deputy ministers, undersecretaries, chief executive officers, advisors, directors and acting directors. Mr. Abdulaziz also highlighted that the mobile application includes the contact details of nearly 700 employees from 55 entities.
The app is super flexible and accessible as it enables users to search for a particular government entity and their employees. Some of the features include calling, emailing, adding contacts to their directory or marking it as their Favorite. The app will also assist users in contacting any specialist or expert when it comes to planning and organizing events for example.
The Authority urges all government entities to regularly contact iGA to update their employees’ contact details as the application is a new channel which facilitates communication with citizens. It is one of the platforms used by those who desire to contact these entities via telephone or online.
The app is available for download on Apple Store and Google Play Store. You can also read more about iGA’s apps here.
