Public Consultation Invites Feedback On 13 Economic Projects Via Istitlaa Platform
The National Competitiveness Center (NCC) has introduced 13 projects on its Public Consultation Platform, Istitlaa. These projects, developed with nine government bodies, focus on economic and development issues. The NCC encourages feedback from the public, government entities, and the private sector before final approval. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and foster public participation in legislative processes.
One significant project is the ‘Health, Technical, and Safety Requirements for Individuals’ Collective Housing,’ crafted by the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing. This project seeks to regulate how collective housing for individuals is established and operated. Feedback on this proposal can be submitted via the Istitlaa platform.

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has also presented a new regulatory framework titled ‘Procedure Guide for Veterinary and Agricultural Quarantine.’ This project aims to regulate quarantine activities and procedures while completing provisions of the agricultural system's executive regulations. The public can provide their input on this framework through Istitlaa.
Another notable project is from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources. It focuses on ‘Special Requirements for Quartz Mineral: Silicon Dioxide (SiO2).’ This initiative aims to ensure optimal use of quartz due to its strategic importance in advanced industries. Public feedback is welcomed to refine this project further.
Istitlaa plays a crucial role in promoting transparency within the legislative environment by introducing draft regulations and by-laws for public consultation. This platform allows citizens, government agencies, and private sectors to share insights on proposed regulations affecting the business environment.
The NCC's efforts through Istitlaa highlight a commitment to involving various stakeholders in shaping policies that impact economic growth and development. By seeking diverse perspectives, these projects aim to create more inclusive and effective regulatory frameworks.
