Saudi Digital Government Authority Reshuffles Structure

The Digital Government Authority (DGA), the Kingdom's national body responsible for regulating and coordinating digital government work, has announced an organizational reshuffle aimed at improving the quality of online public services delivered to residents and citizens.

The change is an internal administrative and governance update to the authority's structure, rather than a modification to any public-service fees or application steps. No changes to service charges, processes, or validity periods are associated with the reshuffle.

The DGA works across government entities to regulate digital services and strengthen integration, efficiency, and the overall quality of electronic services. Its board is chaired by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, while the authority is led by Governor Ahmed Mohammed Alsuwaiyan.

Why It Matters

For the community in the Kingdom, a stronger organizational structure at the DGA supports the wider goal of smoother, faster, and more connected digital government services. This aligns with the Kingdom's ongoing push to expand online access to public services and reduce the need for in-person visits.

Residents seeking information about digital government services can reach the DGA through its official contact channel on 199099. The authority continues to oversee coordination among government platforms to improve the everyday digital experience for users across the country.
