Ministry of Finance receives delegation from Ministry of Defence

In a bid to optimise government department performance, the Ministry of Finance, MoF, has received a delegation from the Ministry of Defence to review the second edition of the electronic system, 'Injaz', for strategic planning and monitoring purposes, and to identify the system's various benefits, including reports on strategic and operational plans.

The meeting was attended by Younis Haji Al Khoori, Under-Secretary of the MoF, and the Ministry of Defence delegation headed by Brigadier-General Khamis Jumaa Al Shamsi, Head of the Audit and Performance Division, and Ms. Sheikha Khalifa bin Za'al, Director of Strategic and Future Management.

Al Khoori highlighted the importance of these meetings to strengthen cooperation and the exchange of knowledge between different ministries and government entities in the areas of strategy design and implementation, and monitoring of performance indicators, in order to ensure optimum performance and achieve the desired goals.

He said that the use of Injaz has garnered positive results, most notably the improvement of confidentiality, reliability and credibility of input and output when developing, monitoring and evaluating plans. "It also helps the ministry in developing strategic and operational plans and budgets, setting and monitoring strategic objectives, operational plans and the initiatives included within, alongside activities in coordination with departments and related work teams," Al Khoori added.

During the meeting, MoF provided an overview of Injaz, demonstrating the process of developing and approving strategic, operational, and action plans, as well as the process of adjusting and auditing them. The ministry also reviewed the various types of reports and alerts provided by the software, including activity and task reports, results and performance indicators, change and risk management reports, and linking the budget to reports on the achievement of the strategic plan.
