Finalize topic:

In the E-Government article, I hope to add a section regarding the E-Government efforts done by Saudi Arabia, seeing as it isn't already present there. I will talk about Absher and Tawakkalna, two apps provided by the government to the people so as to ease access to common procedures online. Some links to use are the following: https://ta.sdaia.gov.sa/en/index, https://www.arabnews.com/node/1453341/saudi-arabia, and https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/emea/saudi-s-covid-tawakkalna-app-required-school-entry-kingdom.

Saudi Arabia

In 2015, the Interior Ministry of Saudi Arabia launched the e-service application known as Absher. The application allows the people of the Kingdom to access more than 160 different government services from their smartphones, without the need to queue or for the inefficiencies of bureaucracy.

Some key e-services that can be complete by way of the application include:


 * 1) Passport Services
 * 2) Traffic Services
 * 3) Expatriate Affairs Services
 * 4) Civil Affairs Services
 * 5) Authorizations
 * 6) General Directorate of Prisons
 * 7) Public Prosecution
 * 8) Public Security
 * 9) MOI Services (Ministry of Interior)
 * 10) Ministry of Hajj
 * 11) General Services
 * 12) Information Services

Another application that has been launched is Tawakklna. This application was created by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) in order for the government to better counteract against Covid-19. Initially the application was created so as to issue permits to those who were required to commute to work during lockdown. Now, it is being used for travel; entering commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools within the Kingdom; setting vaccine appointments; and Covid-19 tracing.
