10/29/25, 11:42 AM Ministry of Sports showcases its efforts in service development and bureaucracy elimination - Middle East News 247
The meeting was attended by H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports; H.E. Ghanim Mubarak
El-Hajeri, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Sports; H.E. Sheikh Suhail bin Butti Al Maktoum, Assistant
Undersecretary for the Sports Development and Competitiveness Sector; representatives from the

Emirates Government Service Excellence Program; senior officials from the Ministry; and representatives
from relevant federal and sports entities.

In his remarks, H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi emphasised that since its establishment, the Ministry

has adopted a work philosophy inspired by the wise leadership’s vision, placing efficiency, agility and
innovation at the core of government operations. H.E. further stated that eliminating bureaucracy extends
beyond being an administrative project and instead is a cultural shift in how the Ministry thinks and
delivers results.

“Our wise leadership has taught us that progress begins not with regulations, but with practical action and
perseverance, and that bureaucracy is not a destiny but a challenge that can be overcome through

collective determination and teamwork. Guided by this principle, we have ensured that our efforts are
grounded in a culture that places service users’ needs and aspirations at the heart of our development
initiatives.”

H.E. added: “Within our first year, we established a committee dedicated to eliminating bureaucracy and
launched seven specialised task forces to restructure services and simplify policies and procedures.
These efforts have resulted in tangible, measurable improvements in the speed and efficiency of

government services. This transformation extends beyond systems and processes; instead, it reflects a
shift in institutional mindsets and performance culture, fostering a proactive approach to devising forward-
thinking solutions as part of a culture we are proud to champion at the Ministry of Sports.”

The meeting included a detailed presentation of the Ministry’s initiatives to eliminate bureaucracy,
including service restructuring, policy development in collaboration with stakeholders through Customer
Councils and User Experience Labs and the launch of the Ministry of Sports’ “Zero Bureaucracy Charter”.
