In his keynote address titled \u201cOverview of National Strategy for Public Service Reforms,\u201d Dr. Arabi identifed NIMASA as one of the standout MDAs embracing transformative change. He noted that the Agency\u2019s reform agenda, particularly its adoption of digital technologies, sets a commendable benchmark for other government institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cNIMASA is showing, in practical terms, what alignment with national reform goals should look like. Their embrace of automation is not just innovative\u2014it is essential for modern governance,\u201d Arabi stated.<\/p>\n
He further highlighted that Reform Coordination Units within MDAs serve as strategic instruments for institutionalizing change, improving performance, and aligning operations with the national reform blueprint led by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR).

He urged NIMASA staff to embrace a proactive and open mindset toward change, emphasizing that adaptability is essential to building institutional resilience and achieving long-term success.<\/p>\n
