H.H. Sheikh Ammar commended the efforts of the Ajman Government to raise the quality of its governance programmes and data management and the services of government authorities, as well as to support the decision-making process through accurate and updated data.

Dr. Al Matroushi said the adoption of the index is due to the Ajman Government’s keenness to support the emirate’s decision-making process, development, economic plans and specialist government performance improvement initiatives.

The programme aims to create opportunities for enhancing government data and implementing open government data principles.
