National Productivity Secretariat Launches Groundbreaking Project:

"Process Improvement in Public Sector"

The National Productivity Secretariat (NPS) is proud to announce the launch of its latest and most ambitious project yet - "Process Improvement in Public Sector."

This new project represents a significant milestone in our continuous efforts to streamline operations, enhance service delivery, and maximize productivity within the public sector.
