Governance of the Hajj, Umrah ecosystem Unit

Brief About the Unit …

The Hajj and Umrah sector has received substantial support from the Saudi Arabian government, prioritizing the establishment of necessary regulations and arrangements. This effort involved issuing royal decrees and ministerial decisions to create comprehensive systems and policies. Over the years, the organizational framework for Hajj and Umrah has evolved significantly, covering regulations related to services and entities. As these regulations expanded, alongside others governing the sectors serving Hajji “Pilgrims” during the Hajj and Umrah seasons, the need arose to enhance and streamline these efforts further. This unit plays a pivotal role in strengthening the foundation of the Hajj and Umrah sector by reviewing the strategic objectives of the government and organizations operating within the field. It evaluates their tasks, administrative structures, and governing policies. The unit ensures the implementation of a clear methodology for preparing reports and applying accountability measures to uphold and verify the adoption of effective governance practices.
