Food for Thought Friday: Insights from the Zero Government Bureaucracy (ZGB) Programme In a recent panel, we had the opportunity to learn more aout UAE public service leaders and their proactive approach to reducing bureaucracy. Hesham Amiri emphasised a strategic shift: instead of adding bureaucracy, they established clear criteria to streamline processes based on complexity, popularity, and impact. Over 30 government departments were empowered to identify and resolve their own bottlenecks, fostering collaboration and engagement. Employees were incentivised to innovate, with substantial rewards for identifying and streamlining bureaucratic procedures. The initiative culminates annually in an awards ceremony honouring top achievers, with prizes up to $300,000 for impactful solutions. The government aims to eliminate 2,000 bureaucratic processes in the next year, a move expected to significantly boost efficiency and service quality. A grassroots reporting mechanism, using the hashtag #zerobureaucracy, enables citizens and employees to highlight inefficiencies directly, driving continuous improvement. Overall, this session showcased effective government action. Beyond economic gains such as improved GDP and a better business environment, the initiative aims to enhance public trust in governmental institutions. The UAE sets a global example of proactive governance and public sector reform. Engage with Us: Join the conversation at #FWD50. Share your insights and experiences with bureaucratic challenges using the hashtag #zerobureaucracy. https://lnkd.in/d_P7XDQM

📯 Sanctions against Russia have been a CFSP success story, as EU Member States have unanimously agreed on 14 packages so far. But more needs to be done, as I noted in a recent interview with Napunk, the Hungarian-language edition of Denník N: ⚖ The proof of sanctions effectiveness is in their implementation by Member States - this topic merits more public attention. For example, publishing successful enforcement cases could help boost the image of sanctions effectiveness and deter evasion. 📣 Sanctions diplomacy is key to tackle sanctions circumvention - the EU uses a more interest-based approach, reminding third countries that tolerating circumvention could harm investment prospects by Western firms. 📚 The #SIFMANet roundtables have been a useful forum to discuss Member States' implementation and enforcement challenges - our #Hungary roundtable report will be out on 31 October, stay tuned! Many thanks to Zoltán Szalay and Veronika Munk for making this interview possible.

#Argentina🇦🇷, City of Buenos Aires, March 26, 2024. - The Republic of #Argentina🇦🇷, rooted in its historic commitment to the promotion and safeguarding of fundamental #humanrights, and exercising its effective commitment in this regard, expresses its concern about the deterioration of the institutional situation and the acts of harassment and persecution directed against political figures in #Venezuela🇻🇪. With the backing of the inviolability enshrined in Article 22 of the #ViennaConvention on #Diplomatic Relations, of which both nations, Argentina and Venezuela, are signatories, it has welcomed opposition political leaders at the Official Residence of the #Argentine #Embassy in #Caracas. In this regard, the Republic of Argentina expresses its concern about yesterday's incident, which resulted in the interruption of electricity supply at the official residence in Caracas, and warns the government of Venezuela against any deliberate action that jeopardizes the #security of #Argentine #diplomatic personnel and Venezuelan citizens under protection, recalling the obligation of the receiving State to safeguard the diplomatic mission's facilities against intrusions or damage and preserve its tranquility and dignity. Finally, #PresidentJavierMilei urges socialist Nicolás #Maduro to ensure the security and well-being of the Venezuelan people, as well as to convene #transparent, #free, #democratic, and #competitive #elections, without any #proscriptions. #PresidentJavierMilei #Argentina🇦🇷 #Venezuela🇻🇪 #ViennaConvention #Diplomacy
