Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has organised a training workshop on the updated ‘Adaa’ (Performance) evaluation system for 2026 as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance employee efficiency, strengthen institutional performance, and equip staff with the latest government-approved performance assessment standards.
Organised by the ministry’s Human Resources Department, the workshop, titled “The Importance of Applying the 2026 Adaa System Standards,” aimed to familiarise employees with the newly introduced evaluation mechanism and ensure they are well prepared to implement the updated framework in their daily work.
The initiative comes in line with recent updates introduced by the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau to the national ‘Adaa’ system, which seeks to reinforce a culture of effective institutional performance, improve compliance with planning and evaluation standards, and enhance the quality of public sector outcomes.
During the workshop, participants received detailed guidance on the revised evaluation process, with particular emphasis on developing SMART individual objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Employees were also encouraged to align their personal performance goals with the ministry’s strategic objectives to strengthen accountability and improve overall organisational efficiency.
The programme highlighted the importance of setting clear individual goals, clarifying responsibilities, promoting transparency and fairness in performance evaluations, and translating strategic plans into measurable and actionable targets that can be effectively monitored.
Trainer Fahad Ali Jaghman presented the updated ‘Adaa’ evaluation framework, explaining the five key assessment criteria and their respective weightings. These include compliance with the performance planning phase (20%), adherence to the mid-year performance review process (15%), commitment to the formal evaluation and announcement of results (15%), fostering an institutional culture around the ‘Adaa’ system (15%), and systems integration and data quality (20%).
The workshop also featured a practical demonstration on completing the individual development objectives form within the system, enabling employees to accurately enter and organise their goals while underscoring the importance of meeting established deadlines to ensure data accuracy and a reliable evaluation process.
The ministry said the workshop reflects its commitment to developing human capital and preparing employees to effectively utilise modern performance management systems.
