Algerian Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport, Said Saoud, has called for the acceleration of development projects across the country. He chaired a coordination meeting to assess the progress of these projects and their implementation within set deadlines. The meeting aimed to evaluate the current state of development programs and address any challenges hindering their completion.
During the meeting, Saoud emphasized the need for a thorough review of ongoing operations and the acceleration of project completion within specified deadlines. He instructed the creation of a dedicated information system to monitor the implementation of development programs and directives at the local level. This system will enable the government to track the progress of projects and ensure the efficient use of allocated financial resources.
The minister also stressed the importance of regular on-site monitoring and periodic evaluation to identify and address any issues promptly. He highlighted the need to prioritize citizen services and improve their living conditions. Saoud's directives aim to enhance the overall efficiency of development projects and ensure that they align with the country's development goals.
In preparation for the upcoming weather fluctuations, Saoud reviewed the implementation of instructions issued to governors in July regarding proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with weather-related events, particularly floods. The review covered the status of preventive operations, including the mitigation of high-risk areas prone to flooding.
The minister underscored the need for on-site assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented measures and enhance coordination among relevant authorities. He also emphasized the importance of activating inspection cells to verify the actual implementation of directives and take necessary preventive measures to protect citizens and their property.
The meeting also addressed the renewal of Algeria's national land transport fleet, with a focus on importing 10,000 new buses. Saoud urged the acceleration of this process, stressing the need for efficient procedures to facilitate the acquisition of new buses, particularly for private transporters. This initiative aims to improve public transportation and enhance the overall travel experience for citizens.
