The Director General of Digital Dubai Authority is authorised to approve the policies introduced pursuant to the Resolution and their amendments. Policies that have been approved must be published on the Authority’s website.

According to the Resolution, Digital Dubai Authority is tasked with overseeing the implementation of the policies across various stages, notifying government entities about the approved policies, and providing government entities with technical assistance to implement the policies.
