Abstract

ABSTRACT Blockchain Technology has disrupted our social, business, and technical domains and will continue to do so in the next coming years. As technology is still in its early stages, with several countries investigating ways of utilizing it and incorporating their systems and frameworks' capabilities. The Blockchain community is now recognizing some significant limitations, such as the absence of regulatory frameworks, collaborative leadership, a relatively small number of use cases, the challenge of cross country collaboration, and the limited availability of a skilled, educated workforce. The need for awareness and increased adoption in both developed and developing countries is of paramount importance, and this paper aims to contribute to this area. The paper seeks to shade light regarding the use of blockchain technology in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

中东和北非地区的区块链技术

科技已经颠覆了我们的社会、商业和技术领域，并将在未来几年继续如此。由于技术仍处于早期阶段，一些国家正在研究如何利用它，并将其系统和框架的能力结合起来。区块链社区现在认识到一些重要的局限性，例如缺乏监管框架、协作领导、用例数量相对较少、跨国协作的挑战以及受过良好教育的熟练劳动力的有限可用性。发达国家和发展中国家都需要提高认识和增加采用，这是至关重要的，本文旨在为这一领域作出贡献。该文件试图为在阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)和更广泛的中东和北非(MENA)地区使用区块链技术的情况遮光。

期刊介绍： Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
