Guinean minister Faya François Bourouno presented Simandou 2040 as the framework for transforming public administration, structured around 122 megaprojects and 36 strategic reforms. He detailed several measures to modernise public services at the UN summit in Baku, according to Africaguinee.

Guinean Minister of Modernisation of Administration and the Civil Service, Faya François Bourouno, presented the Simandou 2040 programme as the framework for reforming the Guinean state at the United Nations Summit on Innovation in Governance on 5 November in Baku. The programme is based on 122 megaprojects and 36 strategic reforms, according to Africaguinée.

Faya François Bourouno cited the One-Stop Shop for Public Services, intended to interconnect administrations and simplify procedures, as well as the National Directory of Jobs and Skills and the National Public Services Barometer. These tools are to support the gradual digitisation of administrative procedures, the minister said.

On the sidelines of the summit, the Guinean delegation also held talks with Laurence Ndong, Gabonese Minister for the Civil Service and Capacity Building. The two sides compared their models of public management, while the Gabonese delegation presented its progress in regularising careers.
