State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexey Khersontsev congratulated the specialists of the My Documents government services centers on their professional holiday – MFC Employee Day.

In particular, he noted that for many years, MFCs have remained a shining example of effective interaction between the state and the individual, combining high standards of comfort and accessibility of state and municipal services, related services and services. This is largely due to the high level of professionalism and responsible approach to the work of the center's specialists.

"Today, MFC is not just a recognizable name and logo, modern centers designed in a single style. First of all, MFC is a strong and close-knit team of dedicated professionals who daily provide comfortable public services to thousands of Russians. Together with you, we created a network of MFCs and continue to improve it. Together with you, we quickly expanded the MFC network in new regions. Together with you, we continue to work hard to ensure quick solutions to life situations of Russians," said Alexey Khersontsev.

MFCs of Russia retain their leadership in the use of modern technologies. Social media services, biometrics-based applicant services, new services, regional projects – all this sets the prospects for further implementation of innovations. The implementation of socially significant initiatives is also one of the key aspects of the MFC work.

"Thanks to the coordinated work of federal authorities and government service centers, it has become possible to obtain a certificate confirming participation in a special military operation in the shortest possible time in the MFCs of all regions. Currently, a pilot project is being implemented in the MFCs of a number of Russian regions to obtain several support measures for military personnel within the framework of a comprehensive request. In your desire to provide the necessary support to those who need it most, we see your sincere interest, and we express our deep gratitude," Kirill Albychev, Director of the Department for Ensuring the Quality of Public Services to the Population and the Performance of Government Functions, addressed the MFC specialists.

The results of four years of work to reduce the time for issuing licenses, permits and the number of required documents, convert permits into electronic form and other simplifications for businesses and citizens are enshrined in amendments to the relevant federal laws. The bill was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on the instructions of Deputy Chairman – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko. Today, the Federation Council approved these amendments.

"The government is creating conditions for comfortable business in Russia. Optimizing the process of obtaining permits is an important part of this work. We have digitalized the entire procedure – from filing an application to issuing the permit itself. We have established interdepartmental cooperation so that the state does not request documents from an entrepreneur that are at the disposal of government agencies. This approach has allowed us to halve the number of requested documents and the time it takes to obtain a permit. At the same time, the requirements for organizations and individuals themselves remain at the same level," commented Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexey Khersontsev, as a result of the implementation of this legislative initiative, 69 federal laws in various areas have been adjusted. It is important to note that the optimization of those government services that have shown positive results and for which it has been possible to obtain confirmation in practice that permits can be provided in a shorter time frame and with a smaller package of documents for the applicant is being consolidated. Such services are included in the law.

"When finalizing the bill at the State Duma with the participation of industry departments and businesses, in particular, the number of types of licenses and permits affected by optimization was expanded. These are permit regimes in the areas of transport, construction, nature management and environmental protection, industrial safety, education, communications, tourism, accreditation of legal entities," explained Alexey Khersontsev, adding that we are talking about areas in demand by businesses and citizens. At the same time, about 9.5 million applications for experimental services were received in 2024 alone.

The law also forms a list of tools with which the experiment was implemented. Firstly, this is a comprehensive application. With its help, you can apply for several permits at once by submitting one application on the Unified State Services Portal. For example, the "Opening a Pharmacy" complex is already available. By the end of the year, it is planned to make about 20 more comprehensive applications available to businesses.

Secondly, the mechanisms of interdepartmental information exchange are being improved. At the stage of preparing applications to the permitting authority on the Unified State Services portal, the necessary information is automatically pulled up and after the application is sent, it is also forwarded to the authority. Since May 2025, such functionality has been tested by Rosreestr when requesting an extract from the Unified State Register.

The bill also develops a mechanism for proactive work between the state and business, noted Alexey Khersontsev.

"The proactive mode is when the systems of the Unified State Services portal remind businesses and citizens of the need to renew permits and automatically send a pre-filled application for their registration – taking into account the current information from other state systems. Since May of this year, eight proactive services from Rosrybolovstvo, FMBA, Rostransnadzor, Rosmorrechflot and other agencies have already been implemented on the Unified State Services portal," he emphasized.

After the adoption of the law, more than 250 by-laws will have to be adopted, summed up Oleksiy Khersontsev.

The government is scaling up a pilot project to optimize document flow to federal ministries and departments. It is aimed at reducing the bureaucratic burden in the public administration system and increasing the real efficiency of the state apparatus. This work is being carried out under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Federal ministries and departments, with the support of analysts from the Government Office, have already begun assessing their work processes. Key areas for optimization include reducing redundant documents and reporting, reducing manual data entry and unnecessary actions in IT systems, and eliminating unnecessary approvals and paper copies. Based on the results of the analysis, departments will present specific indicators and checkpoints for restarting their work.

Since the beginning of 2025, such a project has been launched at the Government Office. Today, all of its structural divisions are already participating in it. Clear KPIs for reducing bureaucracy have been established for each of them. They are directly related to the regulatory tasks of the structural division.

In particular, the Government's Protocol Support Department will reduce the number of redundant documents by half (by 3,000 documents) by the end of 2025, and the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will speed up internal document processing processes on average by half (by 20 days). These changes will affect optimized processes.

"We have consistently achieved 100 percent executive discipline by increasing the speed of work with documents. At the same time, analytics have shown that a significant portion of these documents are redundant. Now our task is not just to speed up approvals and control the execution of tasks, but to increase the real efficiency of the state apparatus. In essence, we are introducing a fundamentally new approach to civil service, and the focus is not on bureaucratic procedures, but on real changes and measurable results," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

All optimization results are recorded on a special dashboard, which reflects key improvements in the work of departments in real time. These include a reduction in manual data entry by half, the cancellation of more than 1.8 thousand redundant documents. In addition, the duration of operational processes was reduced by a total of 244 days.

The project will continue to develop to reduce the administrative burden and improve the quality of work of government agencies.

1 million women and girls starving in Gaza – UN Women

UNITED NATIONS, July 29 (Xinhua) — One million women and girls in the Gaza Strip are facing mass starvation, violence and abuse, UN Women said in a statement on Monday as the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza escalated.

The statement said malnutrition was on the rise and basic services had long been disrupted, forcing women and girls to resort to increasingly dangerous survival strategies.

“Women and girls in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve to death in their shelters or go out in search of food and water, at great risk of being killed. Their children are starving to death before their eyes. This is appalling, unacceptable and unacceptable. It is inhumane,” UN Women Executive Director Sima Bacchus said in a statement.

"This suffering must end immediately. We need unimpeded humanitarian access on a large scale and a permanent ceasefire leading to sustainable peace," she said.

Women-led organisations in Gaza describe women boiling discarded food scraps to feed their children and risking death in search of food and water. Women and girls have run out of basic necessities that are critical to their health, safety and dignity, the statement said.

It also said that more than 28,000 women and girls have been killed in Gaza, most of them mothers who have left their children and elderly people without protection and care. Women bear children in conditions of malnutrition, and give birth without access to water and medical care.

The statement said UN Women joins the UN and humanitarian organizations in calling for an end to this horror and reiterates its demands for unrestricted access for women and girls to humanitarian aid, the release of all hostages and an immediate ceasefire leading to sustainable peace.

“We share the hope that this week’s High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question will be a turning point and lead to the realization of the principle of ‘two states for two peoples’, according to which Israel and Palestine will live side by side in peace and security,” the statement added. –0–

Israel's denial of Gaza famine is beyond comprehension – Australian PM

CANBERRA, July 29 (Xinhua) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called Israel's denial of a famine in Gaza "beyond comprehension."

Speaking at a meeting of his ruling Labor Party in Canberra on Tuesday, E. Albanese criticized statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's deputy chief of mission to Australia Amir Meron that there are no signs of famine in Gaza.

The Australian prime minister said that while any information provided by Hamas should be taken with a grain of salt, it is Israel that is not allowing journalists into the Gaza Strip.

"Claims that there is no famine in Gaza are beyond comprehension," he said.

B. Netanyahu said on social media on Monday that there is no famine in Gaza and there is no policy aimed at creating famine.

Mr Meron reportedly told reporters from several Australian publications during a briefing in Canberra on Monday that Israel does not admit there is a famine in the Gaza Strip and that such reports are part of a “false campaign” by Hamas.

His comments came after Albanese told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Sunday that Israel was "clearly" violating international law by restricting aid to Gaza, and said in a statement on Friday that the denial of aid and the killing of civilians "cannot be justified or ignored."

Asked at a meeting on Tuesday when Australia would decide on recognising Palestinian statehood, Mr Albanese said his government had conditions that must be met, including democratic reforms. –0–
