Decision No.2654/MOIC Organisation and Functionality of the District Office of Industry and Commerce.

This Ministerial Decision defines the organizational structure, mandate, and operational duties of the Industry and Commerce Offices at the District and Municipal levels (local level). It establishes these offices as the primary grassroots technical authorities responsible for implementing trade and industrial policies within their respective local jurisdictions.
The Decision empowers district offices to manage local market activities, monitor the prices of essential goods, oversee small-scale industrial processing, and facilitate the registration of local businesses. It emphasizes the role of the office as a direct link between the government and local entrepreneurs, ensuring that national commercial laws are applied fairly and effectively at the community level.
Specifically, the agreement outlines the internal division of units, focusing on administration, trade promotion, and industrial management. It mandates a working style based on "four-step" coordination: planning, implementation, monitoring/inspection, and reporting. Staff are required to conduct regular field visits to local markets and production sites to ensure compliance with quality standards and consumer protection regulations.
