Dr. Awad reviewed financial matters related to services
provided by the governorates, focusing on developing local revenue resources.
She emphasized the Ministry’s plans, coordinated with the governorates, to
maximize the use of available resources and comparative advantages in each
governorate. The goal is to enhance local revenues, unify service regulations,
and ensure that each governorate receives its legal share.
The Minister stressed the Ministry’s commitment to working
with the Ministry of Finance to overcome challenges hindering local revenue
development. This collaboration aims to strengthen the governorates’ capacity
to provide the services citizens need and improve daily life.
Awad affirmed that supporting governorates in implementing
integrated local development projects, fostering local economic growth, and
promoting decentralization principles remains a top priority. This approach
ensures genuine sustainable development with a direct impact on citizens’
lives.
She added that the Ministry regularly monitors governorates’
plans to develop local revenues and proposed activities to maximize resource
use and advantages. Mechanisms for addressing challenges facing economic
activities and projects are also reviewed to further strengthen local resources.
At the end of the meeting, it was agreed to hold a follow-up
session next week at the Ministry of Finance to review the discussed files.
