Al-Faleh: "Sustainable Governorate" as a Model for Integrated Work and Enhancing Quality of Life

This came during a meeting held by Minister Al-Faleh on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Public Authority for Environmental Affairs with the Governor of Farwaniya, Sheikh Adib Nasser Al-Adib Al-Sabah; the Governor of the Capital, Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah; the Governor of Ahmadi, Sheikh Hamoud Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah; the Acting Governor of Mubarak Al-Kabeer and Hawalli, Sheikh Sabah Bader Al-Salim Al-Sabah; and representatives of relevant government entities to discuss mechanisms for implementing the system and enhancing coordination among concerned parties.

Al-Faleh told KUNA that the “Sustainable Governorate” system aims to develop an integrated framework for measuring sustainability levels in Kuwait’s governorates by preparing periodic sustainability reports based on clear indicators to assess developmental, environmental, social, and service performance.

She clarified that sustainability reports will help monitor the status of each governorate, identify its needs and priorities, and pinpoint gaps and improvement opportunities, thereby supporting data-driven decision-making and enhancing the efficiency of implementing projects and initiatives.

She noted that the next phase will focus on standardizing the sustainability indicators methodology while taking into account the specific characteristics of each governorate, calling for the nomination of sustainability ambassadors in each governorate to be trained and qualified to enhance community participation and promote positive environmental practices across all governorates.

She emphasized that the governors are key partners in the success of the system due to their pivotal role in determining governorate priorities and monitoring their needs, expressing her appreciation for the cooperation of the governors and government entities in this regard.
