As part of the plan to improve work mechanisms and upgrade government communication in the emirate, Sharjah Media Centre (SMC) has adopted a strategic plan to activate the Government Communication Network (GCN), a first-of-its-kind network involving all government entities in Sharjah.

The plan was outlined in a meeting that was held by SMC at the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Wednesday.

In the presence of communication professionals from government entities in Sharjah, the meeting discussed the best practices and latest developments in the field of government communication, as well as the challenges faced by those entities.

The workshop included an orientation on a number of reference guides that had been previously distributed among government institutions to supply them with the information they need about media crisis management and strategic government communication.

In her speech during the meeting, Hessa Alhammadi, Manager of SMC's Government Communication Unit (GCU), said: "The Government Communication Network is the fruit of tireless efforts based on our work as one team with similar objectives. These objectives reflect the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to create a distinctive government communication system for all Sharjah government entities to share." On the reference guides that had been provided by SMC to the GCN members, Alhammadi said that they had been prepared according to tight standards to provide comprehensive information on how to manage media crises and benefit from strategic communication.
