Muscat: Muscat Governorate on Sunday hosted the final round of “All Oman” initiative, which aims to enhance community partnership and embody the national trend of decentralisation.

The final round of the three-day initiative, held at Oman Convention and Exhibition Center, aims to enhance direct communication between Omani governorates and the parties entrusted with implementing Oman Vision 2040. It seeks to enlighten and empower the local community through meetings, visits, and workshops to unify efforts for devising an integrated approach.
The Governor of Muscat said that “All Oman” initiative represents a real opportunity to convert the goals of Oman Vision 2040 into tangible reality through open dialogue and joint action aimed to accommodate local initiatives in all governorates of Oman, leveraging the competitive advantages of the governorates in terms of investment, economic potential, social and cultural factors that set them apart.
