Star Rating System has been launched for service delivery channels offered by Government of Dubai by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai. The main aim behind launching of this rating system is to improve the quality of services offered by the government to maximize levels of customer satisfaction.

The new system also contributes to the vision of Smart Government originally initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Speaking on the launch of the system, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan said the aim was to provide high quality of customer experience across all service delivery channels of the government.
