USAID-funded technological centers opened in Behaira

CAIRO – 27 August 2017: The Minister of Planning Hala El-Said inaugurated on Sunday a number of technological centers in Behaira governorate.

Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the centers will have an electronic database that links the work of directorates in Behaira governorate.

Coming as part of the Ministry’s project to improve efficiency of the state’s administrative apparatus, Said noted that the project will digitalize services offered to citizens and activate the one-stop-shop concept across localities.

The new system allows reports to be issued and accurate information to be filed to higher managements, in addition to offering 60 services to citizens.

Said added that the project’s next phase will include electronic payment of fees and dues and sending emails and SMSs to citizens informing them about available services.
