What was covered in the 2025 Civil Affairs annual report?

During the reception, Director Areej Al-Rajhi presented the annual report for the year 2025 to the Prince of Al-Qassim. The report details the operational progress of the Civil Affairs sector within the region and outlines the advancements made in serving beneficiaries. According to reporting from Shafaq News, the delivery of this report serves as a formal record of the department’s achievements and its alignment with regional administrative goals.

The discussions centered on how the Civil Affairs sector is adapting to meet the needs of the population in the Al-Qassim region. The report highlights a shift toward more efficient service delivery models, emphasizing the reduction of bureaucratic hurdles for citizens and residents.

How is the Civil Affairs sector evolving in Al-Qassim?

The sector is currently undergoing a significant digital transformation to enhance the accessibility of government documentation and identity services. This evolution is driven by a broader push toward electronic services, which aim to minimize the need for physical visits to government offices and accelerate processing times for beneficiaries.

Deputy Prince of Al-Qassim Fahd bin Saad stated that the Civil Affairs sector is evolving specifically to better serve beneficiaries. According to Al Riyadh and Aajel, the Deputy Prince noted that the sector benefits from the continuous support and attention of the national leadership, which has facilitated the ongoing development of the services provided to the public.

Which initiatives are driving service improvements?

As part of the region’s strategy to increase service inclusivity, the Civil Affairs department has implemented two primary initiatives:

• “We are here and we come to you” (موجودين ونأتي إليك): An outreach program designed to bring essential civil services directly to individuals who may have difficulty visiting official centers.
• “Taqdeer” (تقدير): An initiative focused on providing specialized care and appreciation for specific segments of the population to ensure their administrative needs are met with priority and dignity.

These programs, combined with the expansion of electronic platforms, represent a dual approach to governance in Al-Qassim: leveraging high-tech digital transformation for the general population while maintaining high-touch physical outreach for those with limited mobility or special requirements.
