 The president added that the project also includes an administrative performance observatory which is an electronic structure tasked with following up the institutions’ implementation of standards to be put by the center in a way that helps assess the situation of each institution and make comparison between the institutions based on the development of their performance.

The National Project for Administrative Reform also includes a human resources service center that puts a detailed map for available human resources and vacancies thereby getting a clear government employment policy, President Al-Assad went on to say.

He pointed out that part of the project will be establishing a website to help communicate with citizens and get their suggestions, complaints or assessment of an institution’s performance.
