Ur Iraqi Portal for Government Digital Services: A Descriptive Analytical Study.

Abstract

Iraq has undergone major changes since 2003 on several levels: political, social, economic, and technical. Successive Iraqi governments since 2003 have tried to keep pace with global technological developments in order to connect Iraqi society to these transformations. The emergence of what is known as e-government globally has encouraged successive Iraqi governments to keep pace with this development and provide services comparable to those available globally in order to facilitate the lives of Iraqi citizens who suffer from various economic, political, and social problems. Based on this, the Ur portal for Iraqi government digital services was established to serve as a digital bridge between citizens and government services. This research reviews this portal in terms of its technical components, services, and the challenges it faces.

Keywords. Iraq, Ur portal, digital services, Iraqi digital government, digital transformation
