>> MODERATOR: Of the Ministry of Environment. Thank you for your government support. We invite him to the workshop, the Namaa Platform and AI. His perspectives will be invaluable and we look forward to the conversation on the solution for the future.
>> YASSER IBRAHIM ALISSA: Thank you.
As was mentioned, we are leveraging the Namaa Platform and AI to promote sustainability. We are dealing with local and initial indicators, local and global awards.
The situation before Namaa was each service has different link and user experience that's technical wise. Each platform has own services. This will be difficult from user experience side for beneficiary.
Then came the need to provide unified access interface and unified access to all electronic services and apply the international standards and practice in government.
Unified place to make data and make our various types of data related to Internet service real time. What that's mean? What that's mean, when you have unified database and unified platform, it's easy to apply the AI in your platform.
So invest smart and imaging technology developing talent, recognize operation to support change management for the experience of beneficiary outside and within the ministry.
So after Namaa, the unified service platform, what we do. Integrate services, Namaa offers centralized platform for various services, make it easy for users to access information. User friendly interface. Actually we have a project related to your user interface. We have UX lab. Actually we bring the beneficiary to the ministry and make some experience on them and apply some AI tools to see the best user experience for users.
So the AI bot solution AI utilized artificial intelligence to enhance services providing personalizing recommendation and support. So if you see the before, we make it the centralized database, that's mean easy to apply AI and of course with accurate data.
And the real time access user can access up to date information on the services. Mobile access, that mean responsive design will be easy to the users to use the services and access the service on the go.
Secure transaction, of course, the important things. To protect user data to ensure safe transaction.
Namaa beneficiary, we have 1,500,000 plus in that Namaa and it serves more than 300 services. Import and export services, water source license, financial support services, licensing services, and animal services.
So what is Namaa Innovation. Namaa innovation and connectivity when you see, we have project in water management and AI solution can optimize. Management, monitor consumption, predict future water needs leading to more sustainable use.
Again, you have the ministry of environment, water, and agriculture. We support tools to position agriculture include crop monitoring, forecasting, which can help farmers make different decision.
Again, environment sector, we have monitoring tool that the platform can analyze environmental data to track change, assist risk, and inform policies and aim towards sustainability and conversation.
In Namaa site, they have a realistic view across sectors, which facilitate better coordination and resource location. User friendly, this means user experience, it includes user experience with easy navigation and ensure they can access service with minimal effort.
Personalization, AI algorithm can tailor services to individual user needs, enhancing specification and engagement. The platform of our robots enables the organization to extract value insight from data, identify trends, and other things.
Okay. So our significant projects, drones technology used to inventory agricultural lands. The primary goal in this project, to conduct and create field surveys of many areas at high speed. The platform's data activities are stored in a central database to process and generate intelligent reports for decision making by higher authorities.
Actually, after we use the drones, we use some tools like remote sensing to analyze the data and they give us the decision making.
So the second project we already work on it. Artificial against technology used to detect agricultural pests.
We have many services on this application. We can use audio, video, communication, and text message so that the farmer gets the information completely and accurately. The second service also intelligent response to our formers' inquiries through conversation with the brilliant guide. In addition.
The platform will answer the farmers' questions with pictures, videos, and texts of the ministry on social media.
This mechanism helped the farmer not contact the experts and satisfy the information he obtained through the intelligent platform. The artificial intelligence in this platform played an essential role in identifying the diseases of coffee trees by taking pictures and determining the type of treatment.
So we add the new channel, AI channel. AI channel focus on enhancing the beneficiary experience with the ministry services by providing smart and easy digital communication channels.
Actually, we add one more services specifically to special needs. To be more user experience for them.
Second significant project, smart National Water Platform. The primary goal for the project, the service, is to compute the water requirement of crops across the kingdom, aiding the decision makers in accurately estimating agricultural water needs. It offers user friendly services for farmers, allowing them to discern the actual water needs of their crops, monitor consumption, and judge the volume of additional water required.
Okay. Livestock chain application. The primary objective of livestock chain application is to enable the owner can be create and manage their asset portfolios, registering and tracking ownership, and executes the sales or transfer ownership securely and directly within platform.
Actually, we have more than 500,000 transactions just for transfer ownership.
Smart immunization. This is a significant project. It means the smart immunization is preventing the spread of life stock epidemics across all regions in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This platform utilizes an array of integrated technologies and solutions, including geospatial mapping, artificial against, smart field management systems, and business against. And if you applied all these services, of course we can apply AI models to analyze data from livestock project owners.
This analysis enables the prediction of potential epidemic outbreaks, allowing for proactive measures to be taken. When the impending epidemic is identified. The system automatically initiates visit requests that contain comprehensive immunization information and including the precise location where intervention is needed.
Okay. NAMAA and SDG. SDG means Sustainable Development Goals. They have 17 goals. Each of them related to Namaa. Ending poverty, by providing the access to financial resources, social services, and information, the platform can help empower marginalized communities and improve their economic conditions, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction.
Ending hunger, the platform can support agricultural initiatives and enhance food distribution systems and promote sustainable practices that ensure food security and nutrition for all.
Ensure healthy lives. Namaa can facilitate health services delivery, improve health care access, promote health education, contributing to better health outcomes and well being.
Water and sanitation. By tracking water consumption and providing data on water management, the platform helps ensure sustainable water use and access to clean water and sanitation services, as you see before on the slide for water management.
Sustainable cities, the platform can aid in urban planning and management, making cities safer, more inclusive, and resilient by using data to address urban challenges and improve infrastructure.
Climate action. We have project related to climate action. Namaa can support climate action initiatives by providing data on environmental practices, promoting awareness and facilitating policy policy development aimed at mitigating climate change impacts.
Life below water. Through initiatives that monitor marine resources and promote sustainable practices, the platform can help conserve oceans and ensure the sustainable use of marine environments. Life on land. The platform can assist in managing land use, combating desertification.
So local and national digital indicators.
All these indicators related to EGDI. When you see the United Nations E Government Development Index, this index measures the [?] score of 100 indicates a leading position in leveraging digital tools for governance. Second indicator, focuses on user experience, so just delivering digital experience.
Emerging technologies adoption readiness. Assesses how prepared an organization or country is to adopt new technologies. A competent rating indicates a solid ability to integrate and utilize emerging technologies effectively.
So all of us in Namaa, the WSIS prize in 2022 and 2023 globally.
And locally, we win the best technical project award in kingdom for the year 2022 and best digital experience award for beneficiary in the government sector in 2024.
Thank you for listening.
