With the city preparing to celebrate its last paper transaction on December 12, 2021, six government entities have already cut their paper use in their internal transactions and public services by 57 per cent in the strategy's first phase.

The authority started with six government entities that represent different sectors, sizes and complexities with 10 more entities to be added in the next phase before moving to a full-digital smart government.
