Idea of the Initiative
The idea of the Environmental Innovation and Creativity Award emerged to encourage employees of the ministry to think in a creative way, and to create a stimulating and motivating work environment for thinking and innovation. This is achieved by allowing them to present their improvement and pioneering initiatives and proposals.
The idea is based on applying the concepts and requirements of creativity and innovation within the government work system as an urgent necessity, given the increasing magnitude of challenges faced by the ministry in executing its operations. This aims to elevate the quality of the ministry’s performance and provide its services at a level that exceeds the desires and expectations of the service recipients, which has become a hallmark of successful global governments.
