The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) and the Ministry of Municipality (MoM) have launched an e-system to update cattle ranchers’ livestock ownership records, with the aim of fostering digital transformation, optimising citizen services and streamlining administrative procedures.
In a statement on Wednesday, the MoCI stated that this move would help cattle ranchers update certificates of ownership online, thereby obviating the need to visit the MoM’s Livestock Affairs Department to receive paper certificates, highlighting that the MoCI’s Department of Supply and Strategic Inventory will be directly furnished with these data to obtain the subsidised feed.
Assistant Undersecretary for Consumer Affairs at MoCI Hassan bin Sultan Al Ghanim emphasised that the new connection intends to streamline the procedures for cattle ranchers, as they can easily obtain subsidised feed without submitting the ownership certificates, thus fostering work efficiency and supporting livestock sector in Qatar.
The connection and interoperability system with a wide diversity of state entities will optimise the quality of services offered to citizens, promptly accomplish their transactions and reduce workload on service centres, Ghanim said, underlining that such a step is part of MoCI’s efforts toward advancing national development and digital transformation in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
For his part, MoM’s Assistant Undersecretary for Shared Services Affairs Hamad Khalifa Al Khalifa affirmed that this new connection is part of the shared interest and consistent collaboration between both ministries in a whole-of-government approach to integrate the services, in pursuit of eliminating the need for paper documents and offering self-services around the clock statewide without the need for in-person attendance.
MoCI’s Director of Department of Supply and Strategic Inventory Abdullah Khalifa Al Kuwari underscored the ministry’s commitment to fully supporting cattle ranchers and ensuring the sustainability of both agricultural and livestock sectors, emphasising that the electronic connection will indubitably provide accurate and prompt data, thereby enhancing these services.
