Held across the governorate’s wilayats, the programmes combined awareness sessions, training workshops and discussions for school and university students, artisans, productive families and community members. The closing ceremony took place at the Musandam Cultural and Innovation Centre in Khasab under the patronage of Ahmed bin Ali Al Shahi, a member of Oman’s Shura Council representing Khasab.
According to Mana bin Abdullah Al Shahi, director of Riyada’s SME Development Department in Musandam, the initiative aimed to expand awareness of entrepreneurship, identify young talent, promote self-employment and innovation, and support artisans and productive families.
