On September 30, Djibouti's Prime Minister, Abdoulkader Kamil Mohamed, chaired a meeting to present the new roadmap for Axis IV, which focuses on performance, governance, and accountability. The roadmap aims to better structure ongoing reforms and orient public action towards measurable results. The meeting brought together relevant ministers and administrative officials.
The new roadmap has been streamlined to prioritize actions and focus on key areas, with 137 activities now included across 37 programs and 8 sub-axes, down from 195 initial activities. This reduction aims to increase transparency and facilitate monitoring of progress. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of modernizing the administration, reducing bureaucratic hurdles, and improving public services.
Digitalization of public services is a key aspect of the roadmap, aiming to simplify procedures, improve access to administrative services, and promote a more modern administration. The government also highlighted the need for better coordination between different administrations and clearer responsibilities in program implementation. Employment was another key topic, with the Prime Minister stressing the need for a national employment strategy.
The roadmap also covers several sectors crucial to public governance, including justice, public administration, diplomacy, and financial governance. Strengthening anti-financial crime mechanisms was also discussed, as part of efforts to consolidate control and accountability mechanisms. The Prime Minister requested that the roadmap focus on measurable results, with clear responsibilities and regular performance monitoring.
The government aims to shift from a programming approach to a results-based culture, with each activity linked to specific responsibilities and subject to regular monitoring. The roadmap is intended to provide a transversal framework for improving public action, with a focus on administrative performance, governance, accountability, digital transformation, and service modernization.
The presented roadmap will serve as a reference framework for ongoing reforms, with the central goal of enhancing administrative effectiveness and improving the quality of services provided to citizens. The government hopes that this new approach will lead to tangible improvements in public services and better meet the needs of Djibouti's citizens.
