Over 125,000 government e-correspondences were completed in first half of the current year, reflecting high momentum in Qatar Digital Government initiative.
As many as 125,365 government e-correspondences were done via Government e-Correspondence System (Morasalat) in the first six months of 2020, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC) said in a tweet yesterday. Increased digital correspondence has helped in faster, secured and efficient delivery of services by government departments and institutions.
Under Qatar Digital Government programme, ministries have come together to accelerate digital government initiatives to make Qatar’s government more efficient, effective, accessible, and customer-centric.
Building on the progress made over the past years, Qatar Digital Government programme will better serve individuals and businesses, create efficiency in government administration, and develop a more open government with enhanced participation of citizens and residents.
According to information available on MoTC website, Morasalat has been developed to provide all government entities with a secure and robust system for sending and receiving correspondences (official letters) through the government network. Government entities can access the system to send the outgoing correspondences directly to the target entity in a simple yet secured channel. The system also provides the entities with the ability to track receipt of correspondence and to capture the user who received the correspondence along with the date and time.
Morasalat is a secure correspondence system which is automating correspondence and improving connectivity between government entities. It saves time and effort spent on exchanging correspondence between government departments. It also reduces administrative costs by saving time, effort and human and financial resources and activates the ‘paperless organisation’ concept.
