Maldives' Cabinet determines priorities for next two years

The cabinet ministers on Tuesday discussed a revised priority list and schedule for the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) to determine priorities for the next two years.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic poses several challenges to the Government's ability to implement and adhere to the original schedule of its SAP for 2019-2023. In light of this, the Policy Section at the President's Office recently proposed a revised priority list and schedule for the SAP, which will allow the Government to deliver on its key pledges to citizens, within a realistic time frame, that factors in the challenges of the pandemic.

The revised list was discussed at the cabinet meeting held Tuesday at the President's Office, in which Cabinet Ministers deliberated on the projects and activities listed to determine priorities in each sector. The President's Office said the ministers collectively expressed that their respective ministries would give their full support to the Administration in fulfilling these priorities, despite the difficulties of COVID-19.
