Manama: As part of government efforts to enhance and re-engineer the quality of services, the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf announced the launch of a service for depositing approved dues for minors, in cooperation with Benefit Company through the "Fawateer" system.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the ministry explained that the service allows guardians and those responsible for minors to deposit the minor's share of pre-approved funds and income-generating assets electronically, including proceeds from the sale of a vehicle, boat, or number plate, or rental income, without the need for personal attendance.
Issa Sami Al Mannai, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs and Waqf for Justice Affairs, said the launch of this service represents a key step in developing mechanisms for managing minors' funds and reflects the ministry's approach to enhancing partnership with the private sector and implementing electronic transformation initiatives.
He added that the service is now available through the Benefit application via the "Fawateer" system, enabling users to access the app, select the service, and deposit the amount directly, without visiting service centres or depositing cash as previously required.
This development enhances efficiency, increases transparency and accuracy in collection processes, and aligns with government efforts to expand and integrate digital services with national systems, providing safer, easier, and more effective services.
The launch is part of the ministry's ongoing plan to modernise services for minors and achieve full electronic transformation in managing minors' funds, supporting operational efficiency and improving the beneficiary experience.
As part of ongoing government efforts to develop and re-engineer government services, more than 1,300 government services have been documented, translated, and published, with around 800 services undergoing development and re-engineering across various government sectors.
This is based on proposals and feedback received regarding government services through the National System for Suggestions and Complaints, Tawasul, investor feedback, and secret shopper reports evaluating government services, as well as the launch of guidance manuals and service level agreements.
These efforts contribute to improving procedural efficiency, enhancing service quality, strengthening beneficiary experience, and supporting the government's digital transformation journey.
