Secure society
The Abu Dhabi General Secretariat of the Executive Council (ADGSEC) had been working to identify comprehensive goals and priorities that will help Abu Dhabi to achieve its vision of a confident and secure society and a globally competitive open and flexible economy and sustainable development.
These goals and priorities are summarised in the Abu Dhabi strategic plan. Delivery is being monitored and agencies supported by a performance-monitoring system led by the General Secretariat.

Each agency will announce its goals and priorities this month, May and June, beginning with the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority on April 20.

The process has involved two years of coordinated work by the 26 agencies.
