The meeting reviewed the plan’s components and implementation pathways across several priority areas, including improving work mechanisms, supporting planning and decision-making, enhancing procurement and asset management, and strengthening financial oversight.
The three packages comprise five initiatives each, with five initiatives to be implemented annually. The initiatives aim to improve operational efficiency and productivity, accelerate work processes, enhance data accuracy and improve the quality of government financial services.

AI adoption is central to these efforts, given its potential to develop the financial ecosystem, enhance operational efficiency, improve service quality and embed a proactive approach to decision-making. This will help us meet future requirements, strengthen Ajman’s competitiveness and reinforce its position in government innovation.”
For his part, Marwan Al Ali said that the plan reflects the Department’s commitment to building a smarter, more agile financial ecosystem. He noted that implementing the initiatives over three years would ensure alignment with clear priorities and enable their impact to be measured on an ongoing basis.
He said, “Through these initiatives, we aim to move AI beyond experimentation and limited applications towards an integrated role at the heart of financial operations, making smart solutions an integral part of daily workflows. These solutions will deliver tangible value to employees, customers and decision-makers, while enhancing service delivery and resource efficiency.”
