The message to government service centres is loud and clear: Deliver best services or else face the consequences. Just a day after His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, listed the best and worst five government service centres, things have taken a turn for the better. New bosses have taken charge; officials have brainstormed strategies and committees have been formed to boost performance. Here, we have compiled the reactions of the centres that have been ranked as the worst and how they plan to improve services.

1. Digital solutions to boost efficiency
