The King urged coordination among state institutions
to ensure the implementation of the modernization roadmap, which includes in
its first phase an action plan for the years 2022–2025.
The Committee to Modernize the Public Sector, which
is chaired by Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh, briefed King Abdullah at the
conclusion of its mission at a meeting held at Al-Husseiniya Palace, according
to a Royal Court statement.
His Majesty stressed the need to commit to
implementing the recommended reforms and identifying the desired targets to
bolster the efficiency of the public sector, noting that the government must
explain these targets to the public in order gain their buy-in.
The King said public sector modernization is a key
track of the modernization process that is highly anticipated by Jordanians,
stressing that its success is essential for the success of other tracks,
especially the economic track.
Khasawneh said that the roadmap identified seven
pillars as top priorities for improvement and modernization: public services,
procedures and digitalization, organizational structures and administration,
policy and decision-making, human resources, laws, and institutional culture.
The prime minister said that these pillars form the
framework for the modernization of the public sector, noting that they focus on
serving citizens and improving public services, in line with the outcomes of
economic and political modernization.
The implementation of the first phase of the roadmap
will conclude in 2025 and its impact will be assessed and reflected onto the
second phase, Khasawneh added.
Also at the meeting, committee members spoke about the main
pillars of the roadmap, which includes 206 initiatives focused on bringing
about qualitative leaps in government services, streamlining and bolstering the
efficiency of the public sector, expediting the digital transformation,
restructuring and merging public institutions, and nurturing excellence and
innovation.
