Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli reviewed the second follow-up report on the executive plan for the measures proposed by the Egyptian National Dialogue, up until mid-March.
Madbouli stated that the National Dialogue holds significant importance for President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who has instructed the government to promptly translate the outcomes and recommendations of the dialogue into actionable plans aimed at advancing goals across various sectors.
A joint coordination group has been established, comprising representatives from both the cabinet and the National Dialogue, tasked with overseeing the implementation of recommendations across various sectors.
In relation to the objective of enhancing the role of local popular councils, it was highlighted that the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs is currently coordinating with the House of Representatives to finalize the draft law on local popular councils. Additionally, efforts are being made to develop suitable training programs aimed at improving the skills of personnel within these councils.
As an example, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has developed an executive plan aimed at training youth cadres and workers within local councils through a variety of training programs. These programs include "Preparing for Digital Transformation," "Digital Transformation and Technological Creativity," "Digital Governance," "Technological Behavior," "Basic and Advanced Digital Skills," and "Sustainable Digital Project Management."
The Ministry has undertaken initiatives to enhance and cultivate digital competencies among leaders and personnel across governorates, encompassing a workforce of 26,000 individuals. Technical assistance has been extended to establish information systems and digital transformation departments within these regions. Furthermore, training has been completed for 2,060 employees engaged in these departments across various governorates. Additionally, a memorandum of understanding has been signed with Huawei to establish 20 ICT academies within the governorates, aimed at fostering and advancing the digital and emerging technological skills of both workers and citizens.
