Kuwait launched a comprehensive online application offering users a wide array of state services, hailing it as a step towards a digital era.
Kuwaiti youth have a “significant role” to play to make this digital transformation a reality, Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Sheikh Hamad Jaber Al-Ali said during a forum to launch the “Sahel” app, serving as His Highness the Prime Minister’s representative.
A digital transformation in Kuwait comes with a plethora of benefits, chief among them are increased economic development and a potential hiring boom across various sectors, highlighted the minister.
This rapid digital adoption can only come to fruition with “conviction and diligence,” said Minister of Communication and Technology Rana Al-Fares, adding that the initial phase of the new app features some 13 government bodies.
A supplementary app called “Sahel Business” was also launched to cater to the needs of Kuwaiti entrepreneurs, enabling them to complete their business-related transactions online, she added
