The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth (MoCSY), in partnership with strategic funding from OQ Exploration & Production, has launched the second group of the first edition of the 'Tazeez Community Teams Programme', targeting community teams across Al Batinah North, Al Dakhiliyah, Al Buraimi and Al Wusta governorates.
The programme forms part of ongoing national efforts to empower community teams and enhance their contribution to sustainable development across Oman.
During this phase, participating teams will undertake a structured development journey that includes specialised workshops, innovation labs, networking sessions, mentoring, coaching and professional advisory services. These components are designed to strengthen institutional capacities and support the implementation of impactful and sustainable community initiatives.
The workshops will focus on key areas such as community team management, administrative and financial planning, initiative design and execution, partnership development and institutional sustainability, enabling teams to enhance operational efficiency and maximise developmental impact at the local level.
In addition, innovation labs and networking sessions will provide interactive platforms bringing together community teams, experts, specialists and supporting organisations. These sessions aim to promote knowledge exchange, collaboration and the development of innovative community-based solutions.
The programme also places strong emphasis on enhancing collaboration between community teams and relevant stakeholders by creating opportunities for dialogue, experience sharing and partnership building.
This approach is expected to support the development of strategic collaborations that strengthen community engagement and expand opportunities for sustainable social initiatives.
The Tazeez Community Teams Programme is a national initiative designed to build the institutional and operational capacities of community teams through specialised training and development pathways. It seeks to enhance sustainability, improve organisational effectiveness and enable community teams to play a more active role in local development.
The initiative reflects the shared commitment of MoCSY, and OQ Exploration & Production to support community teams through an integrated development framework focused on institutional capacity building, innovation and the advancement of local initiatives.
The programme is expected to produce impactful community development models, enhance the readiness of teams to design and implement high-value initiatives and strengthen their role in social, cultural and sports development, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.
