Partnership Philosophy

Belief

The GPSSA believes that partnership between government or private parties provides opportunities to provide services to the public in a way fulfilling the aspirations of the UAE government to be one of the best governments in providing services worldwide.

Orientation

The government orientation in providing services during the last period witnessed a major shift towards focusing on proactive services of a personal nature to the customer, in addition to supporting digital services by enhancing connection and integration between government parties to provide services that depend on direct interaction between government parties. Those parties that do not adopt the concept of partnership will remain absent from this orientation, unless they raise the level of partnership with other parties that can support and enhance their capabilities in this aspect

Specialization

Each institution in the state has specialized roles and duties to serve the public. Therefore, the cooperation of these institutions, through the exchange of expertise and specialized data therewith through daily transactions and nature of their work, will save the other party a lot of time to collect, classify, and exploit such data in its operational processes to serve customers.

Objectives of Partnership

• Achieve the general and strategic objectives of the GPSSA
• Strengthen the GPSSA's role in serving the community and its institutions
• Ensuring the provision of the best services to the public
• Support the role of parties and institutions in implementing public and private projects and plans
• Apply the best practices and standards in that field of work
• Save time and reduce effort for both employees and customers
• Achieve government requirements in the service provision
