WSIS values promotion

Hukoomi promotes the WSIS values through shared responsibility; on part of the government and semi government entities, they cooperate with Hukoomi to ensure all information and services are available in one single hub, and on part of individuals, their suggestions and feedback are always taken into consideration and their e-participation is highly valued. Equality is another important value so that all types of audience can benefit from the Portal, including persons with disabilities and the elderly.
