Al-Awadi: The government effort team achieved a response to citizens’ demands

Baghdad-INA
The Prime Minister's representative, Ihsan Al-Awadi, confirmed today, Tuesday, that the government effort team received direct attention from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, and achieved a response to citizens' demands.
 
Al-Awadi said, in a speech during a press conference on the occasion of the second anniversary of the formation of the Service and Engineering Effort Team, attended by the correspondent of the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “I extend to the Service and Engineering Effort Team my sincere congratulations and best wishes, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the formation of the Service and Engineering Effort Team, and I renew to you the blessings of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani for this creative effort, as the team was formed on the first of November of the year two thousand and twenty-two, and in the second session of the Council of Ministers following the government assuming its duties.”
 
He explained that "this team came in response to the requirements of the stage, within a clear and realistic understanding of the people's needs and hopes for the new government, as the people's eyes and expectations were waiting for practical proof of the government's seriousness in implementing its service and reform program, and there is nothing clearer than throwing the state's capabilities and efforts into providing direct civil and municipal services to neighborhoods in which citizens have lived for years, without receiving their share and right of service."
 
 
Al-Awadi pointed out that "the team worked on constants and principles that accompanied its rapid success, according to the numbers of completed projects and the timeframes in which they were completed, compared to the procrastination and slowness that caused the waste of public money and citizens' waiting and impatience."
 
He added that "the team shortened time, made important strides in providing basic services, contributed to accelerating the pace of implementation, raising the efficiency of performance, and supervised the mobilization of the capabilities of government formations and directing them to the best and most necessary position."
 
He pointed out that "the team's field work contributed to touching on urgent vital service projects, proposing projects that represent the actual needs of residential neighborhoods, and achieving a rapid response to people's appeals, which enabled it to reflect a bright image of the government's determination to achieve its slogan that its first year be the year of services."
 
 
Al-Awadi added, "The working groups continued in a free discussion and important exchange of community participation in the development of urban areas in major cities, especially the city of Baghdad, which has expanded steadily and more quickly than the planning treatments for services and infrastructure, just as citizen participation has enhanced belonging, responsibility and national sense to preserve service projects as a national wealth that everyone should participate in maintaining."
 
He continued, "From these starting points, the team received intensive and direct attention from the Prime Minister, and there is hardly a session of the Council of Ministers without following up on the decisions and facilities for the team's work, in addition to his chairing of the team's meetings periodically and regularly, reviewing projects and obstacles, and overcoming obstacles wherever they exist."
 
He added, "The team's branches operating in the governorates translated the Prime Minister's directives that the service be comprehensive and general for all regions, districts and sub-districts of Iraq without exception, as there is no difference between one city and another, except according to the need, deprivation and service necessities."
 
Al-Awadi added, "The team faced a series of challenges in various work environments and locations, as most of the targeted areas were without planning or basic infrastructure, and were dominated by slums, different soil characteristics and high groundwater levels. Through four hundred and twenty-nine projects in Baghdad and the governorates, our Iraqi people witnessed the extent of the insistence on serving the citizen, which is an honor that the team's heroes received, along with the rest of the service formations."
 
He pointed out that "what has been accomplished calls for pride and honor, whether in numbers or in the ability to overcome obstacles, but the road is still ahead of us for more giving, and the Prime Minister and the government will continue to support the team and raise its capabilities for more giving, and this is our covenant with you, and the covenant of our people, and their trust in you."
