Thabet Al Tarifi, Director General of the Sharjah Municipality, Salah Salim Al Mahmoud, Director General of the Sharjah Documentation and Archives Authority, and a group of officials from both sides signed the memorandum at the Sharjah Municipality.
He stated that the municipality is keen to support co-operation with all government agencies in the emirate in order to unify joint procedures in the fields of work, particularly in document preservation and archiving. This project will allow the municipality to provide the necessary capabilities and data to document to facilitate the archiving process. He also pointed that the Sharjah Municipality is one of the region's oldest municipalities, with a long history of accomplishments and it contains one of the most extensive document repositories in the world.
Al Tarifi noted that this initiative will substantially simplify archiving, since the municipality relies on its digital system in all fields of work of its sectors and departments through "Sabiq" digital transformation initiative, which is the first of its type and aims to convert all of its services to digital services.
Salah Salem Al Mahmoud stated that the Sharjah Documentation and Archives Authority is committed to preserving the emirate's government and historical archives using the most up-to-date procedures, standards, and regulations, and is working to apply the system across the board.
Al Mahmoud thanked the cooperation of the authority and municipality, which represents the two sides' desire to create an integrated system for handling municipality papers, especially because it is one of the UAE's and the Gulf region's oldest municipalities, having been created in 1927. It provided a variety of services through the years, achieved several notable accomplishments and issued tens of thousands of documents to organise, preserve, and safeguard
