The development of the " Legislative Transparency" criterion marks a significant strategic shift within the Dubai Government Excellence Programme. This criterion represents a qualitative enhancement to the governance pillar, directly aimed at promoting transparency across all government entities. It reflects Dubai's ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and high performance, fostering greater trust among government entities, UAE nationals, residents, and investors. The " Legislative Transparency" criterion establishes transparency as a cornerstone of good governance. It encourages the adoption of best practices in drafting, disseminating, and implementing legislation while ensuring that legislation is easily accessible to the public and that its objectives and impacts are clearly articulated. This approach fosters greater engagement and encourages feedback and suggestions from a wide range of stakeholders.
Moreover, this criterion serves as an effective tool for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of legislative processes, with government entities evaluated on their adherence to transparency and clarity criteria in their legislation. This not only enhances performance but also fosters a competitive environment among government entities, encouraging the delivery of high-quality services. By implementing the " Legislative Transparency " criterion, Dubai reaffirms its commitment to outstanding governance and takes concrete steps towards achieving leadership in government performance, further solidifying its position as an advanced global city dedicated to sustainability and innovation.
