Ambassadors Forum to showcase strategic projects
MUSCAT, MAY 18
In cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Tender Board, Muscat Governorate will host the inaugural 'Governors' Ambassadors Forum' from May 20 to 22.
The second and third days of the upcoming Governors' Ambassadors Forum will feature a comprehensive programme of field visits and workshops aimed at enhancing local governance and accelerating development efforts across Oman's governorates.
On Wednesday, May 21, the delegates will embark on a series of site visits to major development initiatives within Muscat Governorate. The agenda will begin with a tour of the Sultan Haitham City in Al Khuwair, a major urban expansion project designed to meet Oman's future residential and infrastructure demands. The participants will also visit the Oman Botanic Garden in Al Ansab, a flagship conservation initiative that showcases the country's diverse plant life.
The itinerary will continue with a stop at the Al Ansab–Jifnain dual carriageway project. Later in the afternoon, the group will tour the Green Walk in Al Maabela, an urban environmental initiative designed to integrate recreational spaces with sustainability goals. The day will conclude with dinner and visual presentations on development projects from across Oman.
On Thursday, May 22, attention will turn back to Muscat Governorate Hall for a full day of technical sessions. The day will open with a presentation on the 'Etimad' Platform and the Unified Municipal System, both of which aim to improve service delivery and digital integration across Oman's governments.
Subsequent workshops will address modern construction methods, evaluation guidelines for tenders and the management of variation orders in public projects. These sessions will equip regional leaders with practical tools for effective governance and project execution.
The forum's second and third days are expected to offer an insightful blend of practical experience and policy knowledge, promoting best practices and fostering collaboration between Oman's governorates. The events will play a vital role in aligning local initiatives with the goals of Oman Vision 2040, supporting a more decentralised and effective model of national development.
