Community Participation

In order to enhance the role of the different sectors of the Omani society in building the future of our country, Oman Vision 2040 has developed a participatory approach at which individuals from different parts of Oman shared their views and inputs at different stages of the Vision development. It targeted the government and private sectors, civil society institutions, municipal councils, academic institutions, and other sectors such as women, youth, media professionals, people with special needs, university and school students, in addition to a group of expatriates.
