President Mohamed Nasheed has arrived in Addu City this afternoon on a visit to attend the first ever Community Cabinet meeting to be held in Hithadhoo tomorrow.
The Cabinet decided to introduce Community Cabinet meetings, with the aim of bringing government working closer to the people. With Community Cabinet meetings, that will enable people to interact directly with the Cabinet, the government believes it will be in a better position to receive public inputs into decision- and policy-making, and understand public concerns on issues.
The Cabinet, yesterday, decided to focus, at the Community Cabinet meeting that begins at 1:30pm tomorrow at Muhibbuddeen School, on four specific areas: social sector, infrastructure, good governance and economic development.
The President will also inspect the progress of preparations for the SAARC Summit to be held in Addu City later this year.
