Oman 2040 team invites suggestions from public

The Oman 2040 team is making efforts to ensure the participation of all stakeholders in the various stages of development, including the launch of its website.

The team Oman 2040 has been conducting workshops in all governorates to inform the stakeholders of the issues to be identified and to include their proposals and perspectives within the future directions and longterm objectives in light of possible scenarios.

The team has invited suggestions from over 528,000 Omanis in Muscat (as of mid-2017) on how do they see #Oman_2040? What ideas do they want to include in Oman’s future vision?

A workshop was held at Sultan Qaboos University on May 3, as per details on the social media platform.

The team is expected to prepare its final version by the first quarter of 2019 and submit it to the cabinet.

A national conference has been also scheduled for November this year that will allow the Omani society to review the primary charter and review their inputs.

The other objectives include winning the international community support and marketing Oman Vision 2040 to attract foreign investments, and reinforcing the community consensus and the participation of the relevant organisations in order to achieve the vision.

For the purpose of preparing the future vision ‘Oman 2040’ three themes have been adopted — people and society, economy and development, governance and institutional performance, as per the details.

The process of preparing the future vision Oman 2040 will rely on a number of key directions including, the national priorities, the main directions to formulate Oman 2040, Tanfeedh, Oman 2040 committees and teams outputs, studies and strategic reports, Oman 2020 achievements and lessons, the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, sectoral strategies, Oman national spatial strategy, the Ninth Five-year Development Plan, international reports and indicators related to the vision pillars, and Oman Vision 2040 office outputs.

Oman 2040 will adopt an approach throughout the stages of the project to ensure the participation of all stakeholders represented by large segments of citizens.
