The partnership agreement was signed on behalf of the Ministry of Municipality by Assistant Undersecretary for Public Services Affairs Eng.

On this occasion, Al Karani affirmed that the Ministry of Municipality is adopting the latest technologies and innovations to develop smart solutions to contemporary challenges, and is continuing to develop its infrastructure and services to provide a sustainable environment that supports human health in the country. He pointed out that the 'LifeHub' project will contribute to enhancing community participation in sustainability efforts and moving forward towards a safe, healthy, and sustainable country, for the benefit of current and future generations. He added that the Ministry seeks to expand its partnerships with national institutions on issues related to its mandate, such as recycling, public hygiene, agriculture and greening, and food safety and security, contributing to raising community awareness, particularly among students and youth. For his part, Dr. Javaid Sheikh said that the strategic partnership with the Ministry of Municipality will help expand the project and highlight opportunities to harness technology and artificial intelligence to serve sustainability, human health, and environmental protection.
