The Ministry of Planning has held a technical meeting to review mechanisms for selecting and evaluating projects and to enhance the efficiency of public investment management.
The meeting was chaired by the Undersecretary for Technical Affairs, Dr Maher Hammad Johan, and focused on supporting project selection and evaluation activities in cooperation with Adam Smith International.
The Ministry said the discussions aimed to improve project selection methodologies, strengthen public investment management, and align approaches across relevant departments. This includes linking risk-based project monitoring outcomes with decision-making and budget preparation to improve the quality of priority project selection.
Marsha Okoye, Adviser, outlined the importance of the activity and the outputs of the public investment management assessment. She highlighted efforts to unify working mechanisms between sector planning departments and regional and local development units, as well as the adoption of feasibility study checklists in line with the 2025 guide and international best practices.
The meeting was attended by several directors general and technical specialists, as part of broader efforts to develop the public investment system and strengthen strategic planning in line with national policies.
