As per the Resolution, Digital Dubai Authority (DDA), in partnership with relevant government entities, will make policies across all areas that are concerned with achieving the plans of the government for digital transformation, including the ICT yearly budget of government entities; shared digital services of government entities; data centres and the Government of Dubai’s cloud services, among other areas.
