Evidence snapshot for Oman
Oman has pursued a multifaceted digital transformation agenda across government, education, transportation and economic development. Oman's digital accessibility programme ranked it 1st globally in the 2018 G3ict DARE Index with a score of 81/100, and the government launched a Digital Accessibility Guideline in May 2025. The Noor Educational Platform expanded to 578 schools by 2025 with 96% teacher access and 65% of surveyed students reporting AI-enhanced lessons more engaging, though administrative-burden reduction data (~20%) comes from smaller samples. Royal Oman Police AI traffic cameras achieved a 24% reduction in road accidents (2,040 in 2023 to 1,545 in 2025) and won the IRF Global Awards 2025, while the Duqm Special Economic Zone drew over $20 billion in cumulative investment across 100+ projects by mid-2025, though Omanization rates remain below national targets at ~26%.
