The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) took a remarkable jump of 17 positions from 58th to 41st place in UN eGovernment Survey released on 3 March 2012. The UN conducts this survey every 2 years and KSA consistently improves its rankings within the challenging environment of eGovernment adoption. Most significantly, KSA secured an impressive 12th position out of 193 countries in "Web Measurement of On-line Services". Furthering Saudi Arabia's distinction, is being ranked 9th worldwide in the eParticipation category, a substantial jump of 93 places since 2010.

"The United Nations E-Government Survey 2012: E-Government for the People" pointed to many major achievements made by the Saudi government in the past 2 years--from creating more options for mobile access to the high-functionality of the Saudi National portal. For all of these advancements, the Kingdom is now among top-performers in e-government as an "emerging eGovernment leader".

Saudi Arabia's commitment to increasing access to government services electronically is now accelerating at a faster pace. Saudi Arabia's National eGovernment Program, Yesser, established CERD - Center of Excellence for Research & Development to analyze leading trends in eGovernment and train Saudi government staff to shape and adopt new eGovernment practices and technologies.

Eng. Ali AlSoma, Director General of Yesser brought together the resources to support the achievements: "This was a wide effort calling on members of six government sectors: health, labor, education, and social services to work together and establish a higher citizen-centered approach to their eGovernment portal and services; we are all very pleased with the results".
