Poeple waiting for officials to process their papers at the General Directorate of Social Monitoring and Developing of Sulaimani in Kurdistan region.
Today, Thursday, Sulaimani's General Directorate of Social Monitoring Developing processed papers of people with a disability differently by assigning special administration officials and rooms to disabled persons. "Disabled People Deserve the Best Service" is the catchphrase for promoting the undertaking.
The new initiative called "Single Window Unit," referring to a window where a citizen has to wait for an official to process their paperwork is dedicated to helping people with disabilities and would bypass unnecessary procedures by having their papers processed within minutes.
Director of the Single Window Unite with the General Directorate of Social Monitoring and Developing of Sulaimani (GDSMDS) said, "I would move specific officials to process papers of people with disabilities and would finish their works as soon as possible."
"The disabled people would have all their papers processed in a single room and would not have to visit multiple departments to finish their papers," the KurdSat reporter said. Many disabled people could not pull off their paperworks alone when visiting governmental departments.
The undertaking is a joint effort by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, Ministry of Finance, and Faruq Holding that is practiced in that GDSMDS, aiming to ease the lives of disabled people. The undertaking is practiced only in the GDSMDS as most of the department's visitors are disabled. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs plans to test the new initiative in other administrative units in the Kurdistan region.
In a press conference today, Thursday, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Kwestan Mohammed said, "we have always worked to serve the people through Single Window and have a special unit in each city of the Kurdistan region; today we open it in Sulaimani and work is underway in Erbil for Single Window as we know Duhok has worked with the "Single Window" for years."
The new service is part of Qubad Talabani's announced "Service Initiative" that works to reduce administrative workings and speed up processing within government institutions.
