Amman, May 24 (Petra) – Secretary-General of the Ministry of Awqaf
and Islamic Affairs Ismail Khatib met Sunday with directors of the
ministry’s departments and field offices to discuss advancing digital
transformation and improving data management in the Awqaf sector.

The efforts aim to enhance institutional performance and increase the
efficiency of services provided in line with national modernisation
and digitalisation strategies.

Khatib stressed the importance of establishing centralised and
continuously updated geospatial databases to support improved
workflows and informed decision-making.

He called for leveraging modern technology to develop the Awqaf
sector and strengthen institutional efficiency.

He highlighted the role of digital transformation in enhancing
oversight and accountability of Awqaf funds and assets through
digital reporting systems, which help improve transparency and
strengthen financial monitoring and management.

Khatib underscored the importance of utilising data analytics and
artificial intelligence technologies to improve the efficiency of
Awqaf investments and maximise their developmental and social impact.

He noted that digital transformation contributes to accelerating
internal procedures, simplifying processes and improving service
quality, affirming the ministry’s commitment to upgrading its digital
infrastructure in line with the government’s modernisation plans.

The meeting reviewed the “Takammul” platform, a digital government
database designed to automate and organise data, document information
and provide electronic services to institutions and citizens,
facilitating easier access to information while reducing paperwork.
