An array of projects worth Dh470 million was announced for a complete network of community development in the emirate.
The projects spanning 38 locations in the emirate will be carried out in collaboration with the private sector, for which the Executive Committee at the Executive Council, headed by Saeed Eid Al Ghafli, Chairman of the Executive Office, has given a nod, in addition to adopting vital projects and decisions.
The key projects include two community markets (second package) in the cities of Mohammed bin Zayed and Shakhbut, through a Musataha agreement spending Dh195 million and Dh182 million respectively.
The proposed markets would be divided into three facilities: social facilities, suitable retail shops and government services.
The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City has conducted surveys and economic feasibility studies to identify the needs and demands of residents in these areas.
The project aims at redeveloping and improving the currently fenced park to turn it into an open entertainment park.
The process will include launching social events and activities, and commercial facilities at the park in order to create an integral social centre inside the park, and provide green and entertainment spaces that meet the needs and demands of residents and visitors.
The committee has also approved the project to develop the Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak Park through a Musataha agreement spending Dh93 million.
The Executive Committee highlighted the important role played by the private sector in supporting development in Abu Dhabi, and considered it a key partner in the creation of new services and entertainment amenities aimed at providing modern services according to international standards.
The committee also approved the referral of a roads and infrastructure project worth Dh112 million aimed at creating 104 housing units in Al Maqta, including the provision of water, electricity, communications and wastewater services.
The committee further approved the circulation of the health education material to all girl schools in the emirate and the formation of a communication and media team to operate during emergencies, crises and disasters.
The Executive Committee also applauded the World Bank 2016 Doing Business report results for Abu Dhabi, which showed progress in a number of key indicators.
