Some knowledge of Arabic would be welcome, but is not a pre-requisite. English is the official working language of the Project.

"The project aims to improve the responsiveness of the administration to the demands of the general public and business community by streamlining and simplifying/re-engineering administrative procedures and business processes at four beneficiary ministries: the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Industry. The project shall focus on complex, non-transparent, time consuming, and vague administrative procedures that result in low quality of public services and in inefficiency in the public administrations. Finally, the project will provide value-added services which deliver the results necessary to transform and grow the business faster, better and cheaper; it will allow the beneficiary ministries to operate in a more transparent, efficient, cost effective, and timely manner and reduce Administrative Burdens on citizens and businesses. The project shall highlight Information and Communications Technology (ICT) recommendations that could be incorporated into the overall simplification initiative."
