A DOST branch has started operating in Tartar

As part of the next step in expanding the DOST service network across the country, a DOST branch of the Karabakh Regional DOST Center has started operating in the Tartar district.

Minister of Labour and Social Protection of the Population Anar Aliyev and Head of the Executive Authority of the Tartar District Mustagim Mammadov reviewed the conditions created at the branch and the service delivery process.

Anar Aliyev stated that the establishment of the DOST Agency and DOST Centers by the Decree of President Ilham Aliyev dated 9 August 2018 is one of the significant achievements of the social reforms implemented in the country in recent years. Based on the DOST concept initiated by First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, state social services are provided through a “one-stop shop” in a modern, flexible, transparent manner focused on citizen satisfaction.

It was noted that the DOST service network continues to expand and now also covers the Tartar district. Overall, to date, 7 DOST Centers, 2 DOST branches, a “Smart DOST” service point and 2 DOST service points have been put into operation in Baku and the regions.

Currently, design, renovation and construction works are underway for the establishment of DOST Centers in Nakhchivan, Guba, Sabirabad, Sumgayit, Ganja and Masalli, as well as DOST branches in several other regions.

The Minister instructed that services at the new branch be provided at a high level in line with the DOST concept, that issues reflected in citizens’ appeals be addressed in accordance with citizen satisfaction principles, and that applicants seeking employment be involved in active employment programmes and other relevant initiatives.

The Tartar DOST branch building consists of two floors and has been designed in a modern style with constructive and contemporary elements. The branch is expected to serve an average of up to 80 citizens per day.
