DHANK — Five development agreements involving private-sector contributions of about RO200,000 were signed in Oman’s wilayat of Dhank on Tuesday to support public services and community projects, Oman News Agency reported.

The agreements cover initiatives in education, health, social development, sports, endowments and religious affairs, aimed at improving services and quality of life in the wilayat in Al Dhahirah Governorate.

The signing ceremony was held under the patronage of Taher bin Mabkhout Al Junaibi, Governor of Al Dhahirah, and attended by Muslim bin Ahmed Al Maashani, Wali of Dhank, alongside officials and representatives of government and community organisations.

The agreements form part of efforts to expand cooperation between private companies, government institutions and community organisations in funding local development.

The initiatives are intended to deliver lasting social benefits in line with Oman Vision 2040, the country’s long-term development strategy, the agency said.
