The provisions are contained in a new regulation on the work of community centres, approved by the cabinet today, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.     

The community centre’s director will selected by contest for a four-year mandate. He/she will be in charge of the institution’s work, register, programme, annual activity report, etc. Also, to ensure the transparency and good management, the regulation is set to create an administrative board of the community centre, which will  include representatives of the founder, of the city’s or district’s culture department and one representative on behalf of the civil society in the relevant field of this activity.     

The changes come from the increase in salaries for the directors of the community centres, so that the complexity of the office meets the level of remuneration.
